Shall I Let Him In?

Verse 1

Christ is knocking at my sad heart; Shall I let him in? Patiently pleading with my sad heart; O shall I let him in? Cold and proud is my heart with sin, Dark and cheerless is all within; Christ is bidding me turn unto him; O shall I let him in?

Verse 2

Shall I send him the loving word? Shall I let him in? Meekly accepting my gracious Lord, O shall I let him in? He can infinite love impart, He can pardon this rebel heart; Shall I bid him forever depart, Or shall I let him in?

Verse 3

Yes, I'll open this heart's proud decor, Yes, I'll let him in. Gladly I'll welcome him evermore; O, yes, I'll let him in. Blessed Saviour, abide with me, Cares and trials will lighter be; I am safe if I'm only with thee, O, blessed Lord, come in!
