Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.1193
First Line: The Saviour stands at thy door to-night,
The Saviour stands at thy door to-night,
And is seeking thy heart to win ;
The world for awhile has withdrawn its
Wilt thou open and let Him in? [light :
He has travelled afar on a lonely road,
In sorrow and agony ;
He has borne sin's heavy crushing load,
All, all for the sake of thee !
Let . . . Him in, . . . let . . . Him in ; . . .
O - - pen the door . . and let . . Him come in.
2 He stands to plead with thee to-night,
While the dews of the evening fall ;
O'er the moaning and surging waves of life,
Dost thou hear His yearning call
He will free thy soul from the chains of earth,
From its sorrow, its care, and sin;
He will give thee joy for its hollow mirth :
Wilt thou open and let Him in ?
3 From the glorious heights of heaven He came,
To seek thee and to save ;
But the world it gave Him a cross of shame,
And a lonely borrowed grave ;
He left His radiant home above
To bear thy load of sin ;
He died to prove His deep, deep love:
Wilt thou open and let Him in ?
4 Thou hast wandered far in the paths of sin,
Thou art weary, and sad, and lone;
But His blood can cleanse, and His love
can win :
Wilt thou make Him now thine own ?
The world has given thee care and pain,
And mocked thee with its sin ;
He will give the treasures of priceless gain :
Wilt thou open and let Him in ?
