48. I Cannot Let Him Go

1 One is standing at the door,
Hear him knock, knock, knock,
O my heart wilt thou yield or no;
Shall I now as oft before,
From my Saviour close the door,
No, I cannot let him go.

Refrain:
He stands and knocks,
No, I cannot let him go,
Shall I now as oft before,
From my Saviour close the door?
No, I cannot let him go!

2 Still he standeth at the door,
Hear him call, call, call,
He has died for my guilt and sin;
I am weary and would rest,
I may find it on his breast,
I will quickly let him in. [Refrain]

3 Yes, he standeth at the door,
See him wait, wait, wait,
Will he leave and return no more?
No, that gentle voice so dear,
How it calms my every fear,
I will open now the door. [Refrain]
