Christ is knock­ing at my sad heart;
Shall I let Him in?
Patiently plead­ing with my sad heart;
Oh! shall I let Him in?
Cold and proud is my heart with sin;
Dark and cheer­less is all with­in;
Christ is bid­ding me turn un­to Him,
Oh! shall I let Him in?

Shall I send Him the lov­ing word;
Shall I let Him in?
Meekly ac­cept­ing my gra­cious Lord;
Oh! shall I let Him in?
He can in­fi­nite love im­part;
He can par­don this re­bel heart;
Shall I bid Him for­ev­er de­part,
Or shall I let Him in?

Yes, I’ll op­en this heart’s proud door,
Yes, I’ll let him in;
Gladly I’ll wel­come Him ev­er­more;
Oh! yes, I’ll let him in.
Blessèd Sav­ior, abide with me;
Cares and tri­als will light­er be:
I am safe if I’m on­ly with Thee,
Oh! bless­èd Lord, come in.
