Sinner, hark! the Savior’s calling, Pleading o’er and o’er; Hear those tender accents falling: “Open wide the door.”

Humbly bow with broken spirit, Heaven’s mercy to implore; Jesus calls, O sinner, hear it! Open wide the door.

Weary sinner, lost and sighing, Hear the call once more; See the Savior bleeding, dying; Open wide the door.

Humbly bow with broken spirit, Heaven’s mercy to implore; Jesus calls, O sinner, hear it! Open wide the door.

Wake, the joy fore’er increasing, On that blissful shore; Give thyself in Jesus’ keeping; Open wide the door.

Humbly bow with broken spirit, Heaven’s mercy to implore; Jesus calls, O sinner, hear it! Open wide the door.

Verse 4

Hear the gospel message given, Bar it out no more; Christ will speak thy sins forgiven; Open wide the door.

Chorus

Humbly bow with broken spirit, Heaven’s mercy to implore; Jesus calls, O sinner, hear it! Open wide the door.
