273. He Is Knocking

1 He is knocking, softly knocking at the door;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
He will bring you richest blessing evermore;
Let Him in, O let Him in!

Chorus:
Knocking, knocking!
Open wide the door,
Let Him in today,
Ask Him in to stay;
Knocking, knocking! life He will restore,
When you open wide the door.

2 He is calling, gently calling to you now;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
See the pleading dew of mercy on His brow;
Let Him in, O let Him in! [Chorus]

3 He is waiting, kindly waiting still for you;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
Give Him welcome, joyful welcome, warm and true;
Let Him in, O let Him in! [Chorus]
