Behold Him standing at the door,
And hear Him pleading o’er and o’er,
With gentle voice, “O heart of sin,
May I come in? may I come in?”

Refrain
Behold Him standing at the door,
And hear Him pleading o’er and o’er,
“O weary heart, oppress’d with sin,
May I come in? may I come in?”

“I bore the cruel thorns for thee;
I waited long and patiently;
I died to ransom thee from sin:
May I come in? may I come in?

“I bring thee joy from heav’n above;
I bring thee pardon, peace and love:
O weary heart, oppressed with sin,
May I come in? may I come in?”
