EN 5881 O Jesus, Thou Art Standing

Rev.3.20

Versi Version 1

O Jesus, Thou art standing, outside the fast closed door,

In lowly patience waiting to pass the threshold o’er:

Shame on us, Christian brothers, His Name and sign who bear,

O shame, thrice shame upon us, to keep Him standing there!

O Jesus, 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 Jesus, Thou art pleading in accents meek and low,

“I died for you, My children, and will you treat Me so?”

O Lord, with shame and sorrow we open now the door;

Dear Savior, enter, enter, and leave us nevermore.
