2 He leads us on through all the unquiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes, and doubts, and fears
He guides our steps; through all the tangled maze
Of losses, sorrows, and o'erclouded days

We know His will is done,
And still He leads us on.

3 And He, at last, after the weary strife,
After the restless fever we call life,

After the dreariness, the aching pain,

The wayward struggles which have proved in vain,

After our toils are past,

Will give us rest at last.

KNOCKING, KNOCKING 7.7.8.7.8.7.

George F. Root, 1870

1 Knock-ing, knock-ing, who is there? Wait-ing, wait-ing,

O how fair!

Copyright, 1898, by The John Church Company: used by permission

2 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.

3 Knocking, knocking-what! still there?
Waiting, waiting, grand and fair;
Yes, the pierced hand still knocketh,
And beneath the crownèd hair
Beam the patient eyes, so tender,
Of thy Saviour, waiting there.

Arr. from Mrs. Harriet B. Stowe, 1867
