God is Knocking at the Door

Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #25 (1879) First Line: God is knocking, ever knocking Refrain First Line: Hear it mortal! Lyrics: 1 God is knocking, ever knocking, At the heart's thrice bolted door, Which we're looking, ever looking, As we oft have done before; And we hear, yet hearing heed not, While we fast bolt the door. Refrain: Hear it mortal! Open quickly, God is waiting at the door. 2 He is calling, ever calling, In a soft and gentle tone, To the fallen and the falling, To the weary and the lone; Still they answer not the summons, Till the spirit voice has flown. [Refrain] 3 He's entreating, e'er entreating, By his mercy, by his care, Knocking, knocking, and repeating; Calling, calling, this his pray'r: "Let me enter!"--hear it, mortal, Open wide the sin-locked door. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Languages: English Tune Title: [God is knocking, ever knocking]

Hulse Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15912 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 First Line: God is knocking, ever knocking Lyrics: 1 God is knocking, ever knocking, At the heart’s thrice bolted door, Which we’re locking, ever locking, As we oft have done before; And we hear, yet hearing hear not, While we fast secure the door. 2 He is calling! He is calling! In a soft and gentle tone; To the fallen! and the failing! To the weary and the lone; Still they answer not the summons, Till the spirit-voice has flown. 3 He’s entreating! e’er entreating! By His mercy, by His care, Knocking! knocking! and repeating; Calling! calling! this His prayer: "Let Me enter!" Hear it, mortal! God is waiting at the door.

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: W. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Christ is knocking, ever knocking]" in Gospel Praise Book. William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
