  *++Lyrics:|\\
Knocking, knocking, who is there?\\
Waiting, waiting, oh, how fair!\\
'Tis a Pilgrim, strange and kingly,\\
Never such was seen before,\\
Ah, my soul, for such a wonder,\\
Wilt thou not undo the door?\\
\\
Knocking, knocking! still He's there:\\
Waiting, waiting, wondrous fair!\\
But the door is hard to open\\
For the weeds and ivy vine,\\
With their dark and clinging tendrils,\\
Ever round the hinges twine.\\
\\
Knocking, knocking--what, still there?\\
Waiting, waiting, grand and fair!\\
Yes, the pierced hand still knocketh,\\
And beneath the crowned hair\\
Beam the patient eyes, so tender,\\
Of thy Savior waiting there.\\
\\
