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,
He your soul will sure defend,
He will keep you to the end,
Let him in.
Verse 3
Hear you now his loving voice?
Let him in,
Now, oh, 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 forgiv’n,
And when earth ties all are riven,
He will take you home to heaven,
Let him in.
J. B. Atchison, “There's a Stranger at the Door”
