He is knock­ing, soft­ly knock­ing at the door;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
He will bring you rich­est bless­ing ev­er­more;
Let Him in, O let Him in!

Refrain

Knocking, knock­ing! Op­en wide the door,
Let Him in today, ask Him in to stay;
Knocking, knock­ing! Life He will re­store,
When you op­en wide the door.

He is call­ing, gent­ly call­ing to you now;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
See the plead­ing dew of mer­cy on His brow,
Let Him in, O let Him in!

Refrain

He is wait­ing, kind­ly wait­ing still for you;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
Give Him wel­come, joy­ful wel­come, warm and true;
Let Him in, O let Him in!
