The Saviour stands at thy door to-night, And is seeking thy heart to win ; The world for awhile has withdrawn its Wilt thou open and let Him in? [light : He has travelled afar on a lonely road, In sorrow and agony ; He has borne sin's heavy crushing load, All, all for the sake of thee !
Let . . . Him in, . . . let . . . Him in ; . . . O - - pen the door . . and let . . Him come in.
2. He stands to plead with thee to-night, While the dews of the evening fall ; O'er the moaning and surging waves of life, Dost thou hear His yearning call He will free thy soul from the chains of earth, From its sorrow, its care, and sin; He will give thee joy for its hollow mirth : Wilt thou open and let Him in ?
3. From the glorious heights of heaven He came, To seek thee and to save ; But the world it gave Him a cross of shame, And a lonely borrowed grave ; He left His radiant home above To bear thy load of sin ; He died to prove His deep, deep love: Wilt thou open and let Him in ?
4. Thou hast wandered far in the paths of sin, Thou art weary, and sad, and lone; But His blood can cleanse, and His love can win : Wilt thou make Him now thine own ? The world has given thee care and pain, And mocked thee with its sin ; He will give the treasures of priceless gain : Wilt thou open and let Him in ?
