Knock and keep on knocking,
It shall be opened to you,
Knock with your empty stocking,
Gods promises are true;
What ere the hour by clock,
What ere the time of night,
Be importune and knock.

Ask him for strength when you are weak,
Ask for health in your way,
The promise is for those who seek.
Never fail to pray.
Ask when the way looks bleak
Ask ere you leave each day,
Blessed are the meek,
So knock and knock, today.
