Let Him In (Miles)

Composer: Austin Miles, 1903

Who is this that’s wait­ing

wait­ing

Just out­side the door?

Who is He that’s knock­ing

knock­ing?

Has He knocked be­fore?

Rise and bide Him en­ter in!

Peace and hope He’ll bring;

’Tis thy Sav­ior knock­ing

knock­ing

’Tis thy Lord and King.

Let Him in! Let Him in!

He waits out­side the door;

Let Him in ere He de­parts

To re­turn no more!

Don’t you hear Him say­ing

say­ing

Come

O come to Me;

’Twas for you that dy­ing

dy­ing

Hung I on the tree.

Come and see My hands

My side

Look on Me and live;

Tho’ your sins be ma­ny

ma­ny

Pardon I can give.

Still His voice is call­ing

call­ing

Sweet the tones and low;

Bid Him en­ter quick­ly

quick­ly

Ere He turns to go!

Must His plead­ing be in vain?

Must He

then

de­part?

All be­cause His plead­ing

plead­ing

Reaches not your heart?

Sometime you’ll be wait­ing

wait­ing

Just out­side the gate;

Sometime you’ll be plead­ing

plead­ing

Then ’twill be too late!

Now ac­cept your heav’n­ly guest!

He’ll for­give your sin!

While He still is wait­ing

wait­ing

Rise and let Him in.
