2439. He Is Knocking

1. He is knocking, softly knocking at the door;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
He will bring you richest blessing evermore;
Let Him in, O let Him in!

Refrain
Knocking, knocking! Open wide the door,
Let Him in today, ask Him in to stay;
Knocking, knocking! Life He will restore,
When you open wide the door.

2. He is calling, gently calling to you now;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
See the pleading dew of mercy on His brow,
Let Him in, O let Him in! [Refrain]

3. He is waiting, kindly waiting still for you;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
Give Him welcome, joyful welcome, warm and true;
Let Him in, O let Him in! [Refrain]
