Christ in Song ‎#21

21. Let Him In

1 There's a Stranger at the door,
Let him in;
He has been there oft before,
Let him in;
Let him in, ere he is gone,
Let him in, the Holy One,
Jesus Christ, the Father's Son,
Let him in.

2 Open now to him your heart,
Let him in;
If you wait he will depart,
Let him in;
Let him in, he is your friend,
And your soul he will defend;
He will keep you to the end,
Let him in.

3 Hear you now his pleading voice?
Let him in;
Now, O now make him your choice,
Let him in.
He is standing at the door,
Joy to you he will restore,
And his name you will adore,
Let him in.

4 Now admit the heav'nly guest,
Let him in:
He will make for you a feast,
Let him in;
He will speak your sins forgiv'n,
And when earth ties all are riv'n,
He will take your home to heav'n,
Let him in.
