Let the Dear Saviour come In

Author: Jennie Morton Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Jesus is softly knocking Refrain First Line: Just now throw open the door Lyrics: 1 Jesus is softly knocking, Let him come in, let him come in; List to his tender pleading, Let the dear Saviour in. Just now throw open the door, Let him come in, let him come in; Just now he waits to forgive, Let the dear Saviour in. 2 Are you too heavy laden? Let him come in, let him come in; Jesus will bear your burden, Let the dear Saviour in. Just now throw open the door, Let him come in, let him come in; Just now he waits to forgive, Let the dear Saviour in. 3 Are you so weary weeping? Let him come in, let him come in; Jesus will bear your sorrow, Let the dear Saviour in. Just now throw open the door, Let him come in, let him come in; Just now he waits to forgive, Let the dear Saviour in. 4 Open to him the portal, Let him come in, let him come in; You will receive his blessing, Let the dear Saviour in. Just now I open the door, Saviour, come in, Saviour, come in; Just now I know he forgives, Jesus has entered in. Used With Tune: [Jesus is softly knocking]
