Who is this that’s wait­ing, wait­ing,
Just out­side the door?
Who is He that’s knock­ing, knock­ing?
Has He knocked be­fore?
Rise and bide Him en­ter in!
Peace and hope He’ll bring;
’Tis thy Sav­ior knock­ing, knock­ing,
’Tis thy Lord and King.

Refrain

Let Him in! Let Him in!
He waits out­side the door;
Let Him in ere He de­parts
To re­turn no more!

Don’t you hear Him say­ing, say­ing,
Come, O come to Me;
’Twas for you that dy­ing, dy­ing,
Hung I on the tree.
Come and see My hands, My side,
Look on Me and live;
Tho’ your sins be ma­ny, ma­ny,
Pardon I can give.

Refrain

Still His voice is call­ing, call­ing,
Sweet the tones and low;
Bid Him en­ter quick­ly, quick­ly,
Ere He turns to go!
Must His plead­ing be in vain?
Must He, then, de­part?
All be­cause His plead­ing, plead­ing,
Reaches not your heart?

Refrain

Sometime you’ll be wait­ing, wait­ing,
Just out­side the gate;
Sometime you’ll be plead­ing, plead­ing,
Then ’twill be too late!
Now ac­cept your heav’n­ly guest!
He’ll for­give your sin!
While He still is wait­ing, wait­ing,
Rise and let Him in.

Refrain
