O Jesu, Thou art Standing |

O Jesu, thou art standing Outside the fast-closed door, In lowly patience waiting To pass the threshold o'er: Shame on us, Christian brethren, His name and sign who bear, O shame, thrice shame upon us To keep him standing there! O Jesu, thou art knocking; And lo, that hand is scarred, And thorns thy brow encircle, And tears thy face have marred: O love that passeth knowledge, So patiently to wait! O sin that hath no equal So fast to bar the gate! O Jesu, thou art pleading In accents meek and low, 'I died for you, my children, And will ye treat me so?' O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door: Dear Saviour, enter, enter, And leave us nevermore. |
