Words: Rev. C. W. Ray, in Songs of Ser­vice, by Jes­sie H. Brown, Mat­tie M. Bo­tel­er et al. (At­lan­ta, Georg­ia: Co., 1896), num­ber 3.

Music: .

If you know the au­thor’s full name, or where to get a pho­to of him

To thy barred and bolted door,
Gently as a wooing dove,
Jesus comes as oft before,
Pleading in His tender love.

Refrain

Let Him in; let Him in;
Sinner, why not make Him room?
Let Him in; let Him in;
Lest He never more may come.

Haste and open wide the door,
Banish ev’ry thought of sin;
Why refuse and grieve Him more;
Quickly rise and let Him in.

Refrain

He a royal feast will spread,
He will bring a boundless store;
Thou shalt taste “The Living Bread,”
And be blest forevermore.

Refrain

He is knocking, waiting still;
Why in madness yet delay?
Why refuse His mercy till
He aggrieved shall turn away?
