Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.470

First Line: Christ is knocking at my sad heart,

Christ is knocking at my sad heart ;
Shall I let Him in ?
Patiently knocking at my sad heart,
Oh, 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;
Oh, shall I let Him in ?

2 Shall I send Him the loving word ?
Shall I let Him in ?
Meekly accepting my gracious Lord,
Oh, shall I let Him in ?
He can infinite love impart ;
He can pardon this rebel heart :
Shall I bid Him for ever depart,------
Or shall I let Him in ?

3 Yes, I'll open this proud heart's door ;
I will let Him in !
Gladly I'll welcome Him evermore,
Oh 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 ;
Come in, O Lord, come in !
