Behold Me standing at the door,

and hear Me pleading evermore

with gentle voice – Oh, heart of sin,

may I come in? may I come in?

Behold Me standing at the door!

And hear Me pleading evermore:

say, weary heart, opprest with sin,

may I come in? may I come in?

I bore the cruel thorns for thee,

I waited long and patiently:

say, weary heart, opprest with sin,

may I come in? may I come in?

I would not plead with thee in vain;

remember all My grief and pain!

I died to ransom thee from sin:

may I come in? may I come in?

I bring thee joy from heaven above,

I bring thee pardon, peace, and love:

say, weary heart, opprest with sin,

may I come in? may I come in?
