Let Him In

Author: Rev. J. B. Atchinson Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: There's a Stranger at the door Lyrics: 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. Used With Tune: [There's a Stranger at the door]

On the Cross

Author: Anon. Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance First Line: Behold, behold the Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 Behold, behold the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross; For you He shed His precious blood, On the cross, on the cross; O hear His agonizing cry, "Eloi, lama, sabachthani," Draw near, and see your Saviour die, On the cross, on the cross. 2 Behold His arms extended wide, On the cross, on the cross; Behold His bleeding hands and side, On the cross, on the cross; The sun withholds his rays of light, The heav'ns are clothed in shades of night. While Jesus doth for sinners fight, On the cross, on the cross. 3 And now the mighty deed is done, On the cross, on the cross; The battle fought, the vict'ry won, On the cross, on the cross; "'Tis finished," now the Saviour cries; To heav'n He turns His languid eyes; Then bows His sacred head, and dies, On the cross, on the cross. 4 Where e'er I go, I'll tell the story Of the cross, of the cross; In nothing else my soul shall glory, Save the cross, save the cross; And this my constant theme shall be, Thro' time and in eternity, That Jesus shed His blood for me, On the cross, on the cross. Used With Tune: [Behold, behold the Lamb of God]

Cleansed

Author: F. E. B. Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance Call Accepted First Line: Cast out the buyers, Lord Lyrics: 1 Cast out the buyers, Lord, The sellers bid depart; Cleanse me from carnal thought and word, And purify my heart. A temple would I be, Meet for the royal Son: Ye money-changers, fear and flee Before the Sinless One. 2 The love of self o'erthrow; The love of God bring in, That ministers to all below, God's remedy for sin. Rise up! thou Living Word, Thine arm of strength lay bare, That naught in me henceforth be heard But voice of praise and pray'r. 3 When thus this robber's home Becomes a house of pray'r, Do Thou with all thy power come, And dwell forever there, The hopeless ones to cheer, And broken hearts make whole; In me do thou alone appear To ev'ry sin-sick soul.
