Author: Haldor Lillenas Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16211 First Line: Behold the loving Savior stands Refrain First Line: Don’t turn Him away, don’t turn Him away; Lyrics:
1 Behold the loving Savior stands
Outside your bolted door,
There knocking with His nail-pierced hands,
As oftentimes 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 Savior 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 bloodstained hands of Christ some day
Their gentle knocks will cease,
When you at last have grieved away
The blessèd Prince of Peace. [Refrain]
