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 Savior come in. Refrain: Savior, come in, cleanse me from sin; Jesus, my Savior, come in, come in! Enter the door, waiting no more, Savior, dear Savior, come in. 2 O Savior, 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, blessèd Savior, and never depart Come in, with Thy mercy, to me.
