There's a Stranger at the door, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in;
He has been there oft before, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in.
Let Him in, ere He is gone; let Him in, the Holy One,
Jesus Christ the Father's Son, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in.
Open now to Him your heart, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in;
If you wait He will depart, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in.
Let Him in, He is your Friend; He your soul will sure defend,
He will keep you to the end, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in.
Hear you now His loving voice? Let the Savior in, O let the Savior in;
Now, oh, now make Him your choice, let the Savior in, O let the Savior
in.
He is standing at your door; joy to you He will restore,
And His Name you will adore, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in.
Now admit the heav'nly Ghost, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in;
He will make for you a feast, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in.
He will speak your sins forgiv'n, and when earth ties all are riv'n,
He will take you home to heav'n, let the Savior in, O let the Savior in.
