Lyrics The Saviour's hand is knocking, Is knocking at your heart; O sinner, bid Him welcome, Lest grieved He should depart. Hast thou not heard Him knocking, At morning, noon and night? Arise, and bid Him enter, His presence giveth light. The wounded hand of Jesus, He offers now to thee; To save, to guide, to keep thee Thro' all eternity. Chorus: Knocking, knocking, knocking, And longing to come in; Oh! brother, bid Him welcome, He'll cleanse thy heart from sin.
