Text Based On Revelation Chapter 3 (KJV)
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as
I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

O JESUS, THOU ART STANDING
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,
Oh, shame, thrice shame upon us, to keep Him standing there!
2.
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!
3.
O Jesus, 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.
