Chorus: He was wounded for thy transgressions; He was bruised for thy sin; Yet He stands at thy heart’s door pleading, Why, O why not let Him in? 2. From lonely, dark Gethsemane, Thro' Pilate’s hall of shame, Up over cruel Calvary, To thee in love He came! Despised! rejected! crucified! O love, O grace unknown, That He should still remember thee, And claim thee for His own! [Chorus] 3. Yet still He waits and calls to thee, Altho' ye scarce can hear The pleading voice, so often has It fallen on thine ear: O soul, arise and let Him in, Lest from the bolted door In sorrow He should turn away, To call for thee no more.
