There's a Stranger at the door

E1039
1
There's a Stranger at the door,
    Let Him in;
He has been there oft before,
    Let Him in;
Let Him in, ere He is gone,
Let Him in, the Holy One,
Jesus Christ, the Father's Son,
    Let Him in.
2
Open now to Him your heart,
    Let Him in;
If you wait He will depart,
    Let Him in;
Let Him in, He is your Friend,
He your soul will sure defend,
He will keep you to the end,
    Let Him in.
3
Hear you now His loving voice?
    Let Him in;
Now, oh, now make Him your choice,
    Let Him in;
He is standing at your door,
Joy to you He will restore,
And His name you will adore,
    Let Him in.
4
Now admit the heav'nly Guest,
    Let Him in;
He will make for you a feast,
    Let Him in;
He will speak your sins forgiv'n.
And when earth ties all are riv'n,
Comfort, rest, you will be giv'n,
    Let Him in.

I learnt this song as a child. God bless my dear mom.Then, the idea of Jesus at the door was mystical. Now, I understand "the door" is real. It's my heart.


Child of the Living God

Beautiful. It truly touched my heart. Jesus is Lord!
