Lyrics

The Sav­ior is stand­ing out­side your heart’s door,
Will you not let Him come in just now?
He’s seek­ing for en­trance, as oft­en be­fore,
Will you not let Him come in?

Refrain

Let Him come in, let Him come in,
Let the dear Sav­ior come in just now;
Let Him come in, let Him come in,
Let the dear Sav­ior come in.

Oh, why so un­heed­ing to that lov­ing call?
Will you not let Him come in just now?
Receive and con­fess Him your Lord be­fore all—
Will you not let Him come in?

Refrain

Oh, why should you fear
Tho’ the whole world should frown?
Will you not let Him come in just now?
The Sav­ior is wait­ing to give you a crown,
Will you not let Him come in?

Refrain

Take Je­sus for pi­lot o’er life’s stor­my sea;
Will you not let Him come in just now?
And from all its per­ils be ev­er­more free—
Will you not let Him come in?
