There's a Stranger at the door, Let Him in;

by J. B. Atchinson

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 566 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

There's a Stranger at the door, Let Him in; He has been there oft before, Let Him in; Let Him in, ere He is gone, Let Him in, the Holy One, Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, Let Him in.

Verse 2

Open now to Him your heart, Let Him in; If you wait He will depart, Let Him in; Let Him in, He is your friend, And your soul He will defend; He will keep you to the end, Let Him in.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

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.
