Religion
John 10: I, Thee Jesus, Thee I fall before
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
I, Thee Jesus, Thee I fall before
Who only art the church's Door,
With importunity;
I knock, and never will depart.
Open, O Lord, Thy loving heart,
And take me into Thee.
If Thou the grace of faith bestow,
Thyself I by Thy Spirit know
My true eternal rest.
Entrance into Thy church I find,
Through Thee to all Thy people join'd,
And shelter'd in Thy breast.
