1. Behold a stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. 2. But will He prove a Friend indeed? He will the very Friend you need! The Man of Nazareth, 'tis He, With garments dyed at Calvary. 3. O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands! O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. 4. Admit Him, for the human breast Ne'er entertained so kind a guest; No mortal tongue their joys can tell. With whom He condescends to dwell.
