[A Stranger stands outside the door]
The Slighted Stranger.
Author: Charles H. Gabriel Hymnal: Victory Songs #36 (1920) First Line: A Stranger stands outside the door Refrain First Line: He was wounded for thy transgressions Lyrics: 1. A Stranger stands outside the door,
And longs thy guest to be;
He knows thy name, for o’er and o’er
He softly calls to thee!
His hands are pierced, His brow is torn,
His face is sad, but sweet—
It is the Lord of Paradise!
Arise, thy Savior greet.
Chorus:
He was wounded for thy transgressions;
He was bruised for thy sin;
Yet He stands at thy heart’s door pleading,
Why, O why not let Him in?
2. From lonely, dark Gethsemane,
Thro' Pilate’s hall of shame,
Up over cruel Calvary,
To thee in love He came!
Despised! rejected! crucified!
O love, O grace unknown,
That He should still remember thee,
And claim thee for His own! [Chorus]
3. Yet still He waits and calls to thee,
Altho' ye scarce can hear
The pleading voice, so often has
It fallen on thine ear:
O soul, arise and let Him in,
Lest from the bolted door
In sorrow He should turn away,
To call for thee no more. [Chorus] Topics: Personal Work and Service Languages: English Tune Title: [A Stranger stands outside the door]

He was wounded for thy transgressions;
He was bruisèd for thy sin;
Yet He stands at thy heart’s door pleading,
Why, O why not let Him in?

And claim thee for His own! [Refrain]

=============
For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades.
