1. The Saviour knocks at thy proud heart,
Do not his call deny;
Unbar the entrance, lost one, now,
And quickly to him cry:
Chorus:
"Yes, Lord, yes, Lord,
I open wide the door;
Come in, come in, and sup with me,
And never leave me more."
2. "I've waited long am waiting still,"
O hear him sadly say:
"All night in darkness, damp and chill,
Till almost break of day." [Chorus]
3. This call of love, this pleading voice,
Pass not unheeded by,
But in his ears of mercy pour
Thy penitential cry. [Chorus]
