Hear you now His pleading voice? Let Him in; Now, O now make Him your choice, Let Him in; He is standing at the door, Joy to you He will restore, And His name you will adore, Let Him in.

Now admit the heavenly guest, Let Him in; He will make for you a feast, Let Him in; He will speak your sins forgiven, And when earth ties all are riven, He will take you home to heaven, Let Him in.
