1. Behold a stranger at the door!
He gently knocks, has knock’d before,
Has waited long, is waiting still;
You treat no other friend so ill.
Chorus:
“Come in,” just say to the Savior,
“Come in to my heart today,
Come in, and fill with thy presence;
Come in, and save me, I pray.”
2. O lovely attitude! he stands
With melting heart and bleeding hands;
O matchless kindness! and he shows
This matchless kindness to his foes.
3. But will he prove a friend indeed?
He will, the very friend you need;
The Friend of sinners: yes, ’tis he,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4. Rise, touched with gratitude divine;
Turn out his enemy and thine;
That soul-destroying monster—Sin,
And let the heav’nly Stranger in.
5. Admit him, ere his anger burn;
His feet, departed, ne’er return!
Admit him; or the hour’s at hand,
You’ll at his door rejected stand.
