Hymn #565

Christ Is Knocking at My Sad Heart


Lyrics

Verse 1

Christ is knocking at my sad heart;
Shall I let Him in?
Patiently pleading with my sad heart;
O shall I let Him in?
Cold and proud is my heart with sin,
Dark and cheerless is all within;
Christ is bidding me turn unto Him;
O shall I let Him in?

Verse 2

Shall I send Him the loving word?
Shall I let Him in?
Meekly accepting my gracious Lord,
O shall I let Him in?
He can infinite love impart,
He can pardon this rebel heart;
Shall I bid Him forever depart,
Or shall I let Him in?

Verse 3

Yes, I'll open this proud heart's door,
Yes, I'll let Him in.
Gladly I'll welcome Him evermore;
O, yes,' I'll let Him in.
Blessed Saviour, abide with me,
Cares and trials will lighter be;
I am safe if I'm only with Thee,
O, blessed Lord, come in!
