At the Door

Author: Rev. Alfred Taylor Hymnal: Living Hymns #226 (1890) First Line: My Saviour stands waiting and knocks at the door Refrain First Line: Saviour, come in, cleanse me from sin Lyrics: 1 My Saviour stands waiting and knocks at the door; Has knocked and is knocking again; I hear his kind voice, I’ll reject him no more, Nor let him stand pleading in vain; In infinite mercy he came from above, To ransom, to cleanse me from sin; I’ll yield to the voice of his merciful love, And let my dear Saviour come in. Chorus: Saviour, come in, cleanse me from sin; Jesus, my Saviour, come in, come in! Enter the door, waiting no more, Saviour, dear Saviour, come in! 2 O Saviour, my Ransom, Redeemer and Friend, The Life, and the Truth, and the Way, On thy precious merit alone I depend; Dwell in me, and keep me, I pray. Thy goodness hath opened the door of my heart;-- 'Tis open in welcome to thee; Come in, blessed Saviour, and never depart; Come in, with thy mercy, to me.
