CANADIAN SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS Hear ye His Voice.

Behold I stand in the street without
 * Eager your priceless souls to win

I hear the laughter, the song the shout
 * Open-open! and let me in

Oh! Let me in to my erring flock
 * Behold I stand at your door and knock.

≠≠≠ Behold I stand in the storm without
 * Wand'ring hither from heathen lands

Oh! do not scorn me and do not doubt
 * Look on my feet—behold my hands!

Aweary I cannot farther walk Behold I stand at the door and knock! ≠≠≠ Cold, I have starved 'neath a broken thatch
 * While Anti-Christs by firesides basked

I'm waiting here I write lift no latch
 * Nor enter in unless I'm asked

I'll break no hinge—I will pick no lock
 * Behold, I stand at the door and knock!

≠≠≠ The foxes have holes the birds have nests
 * Each living creature hath his bed

Your cross of sin on my shoulder rests
 * While we no place to lay my head

Hear ye my summons and do not mock
 * Behold I stand at your door and knock!
