237. If You Are Tired of the Load of Your Sin (Let Jesus Come into Your Heart)

1 If you are tired of the load of your sin,
Let Jesus come into your heart;
If you desire a new life to begin,
Let Jesus come into your heart.

Refrain:
Just now your doubtings give o'er;
Just now reject Him no more;
Just now throw open the door;
Let Jesus come into your heart.

2 If 'tis for purity now that you sigh,
Let Jesus come into your heart;
Fountains for cleansing are flowing near by,
Let Jesus come into your heart. [Refrain]

3 If there's a tempest your voice cannot still,
Let Jesus come into your heart;
If there's a void this world never can fill,
Let Jesus come into your heart. [Refrain]

4 If you would join the glad songs of the blest,
Let Jesus come into your heart;
If you would enter the mansions of rest,
Let Jesus come into your heart. [Refrain]
