Come in, come in, O Sav­ior mine,
Come in and dwell with me;
My heart, my life, hence­forth are Thine;
Come in and dwell with me.

Come in, come in and dwell with me,
I yield my all to Thee;
My heart, my life, hence­forth are Thine;

Come in and dwell with me.

Fulfill Thy pro­mise, Lord, to­day;

Come in dwell with me;
Forever here my guest abide;
Come in and dwell with me.
