Songs of Full Salvation ‎#81

81. Don’t Turn Him Away

1 Behold the loving Saviour stands
Outside your bolted door,
There knocking with His nail-pierced hands,
As often times before.

Refrain:
Don’t turn Him away,
Don’t turn Him away,
He has come back to your heart again,
Altho’ you’ve gone astray;
O how you need Him to plead your cause
On that eternal day!
Don’t turn the Saviour away from your heart,
Don’t turn Him away.

2 He stood there when in childish play
Your heart was free from care,
And now when locks are silver gray
He still is standing there. [Refrain]

3 He stood there when your heart was filled
With sorrow, grief, and pain,
And when your life with joy was thrilled
He stood there all in vain. [Refrain]

4 The blood-stained hands of Christ some day
Their gentle knocks will cease,
When you at last have grieved away
The blessed Prince of Peace. [Refrain]
