Representative Text

1 Come into my heart, Lord Jesus,
Come into my heart today;
The door so long barred I open,
Come in, blessed Lord, to stay.

Refrain:
Into my heart,
Into my heart,
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus;
Come in today,
Come in to stay,
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus.

2 And make of my heart, unworthy,
A temple divinely fair;
And Thou, only Thou, Lord Jesus,
Exalted and worshiped there. [Refrain]

3 Lord, make of my heart an altar,
Where burneth Thy love, aflame
Of pure, cleansing fire, refining,
Consuming all dross and shame. [Refrain]

4 Come, come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
The door I throw open wide;
Come in, blessed Friend of sinners,
And ever with me abide. [Refrain]

5 Abiding in me, Lord Jesus,
And I abiding in Thee;
No power my soul can sever
From Him who has died for me. [Refrain]
