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?
