Representative Text

1 Are you longing for the Pentecostal blessing,
Which the Spirit will to all impart?
If you come in faith your poverty confessing,
And will open wide to Him your heart.

Chorus:
Let Him come in, let Him come in,
While He is knocking at the door, let Him come in,
Let Him come in, let Him come in,
He will abide forevermore, let Him come in.

2 Tho’ on ev’ry side “walled cities” may confront you,
“Giants” tall may round about you stand;
As in days of yore the Lord of Hosts commands you,
“Go ye up possess the goodly land.” [Chorus]

3 Unto one and all this grace is freely offered,
Nothing less your heart can satisfy;
And “without the gate” the Son of man has suffered,
That the people He might sanctify. [Chorus]

4 ‘Tis the land of perfect love and full salvation,
And of liberty thro’ Jesus’ name;
Yield yourselves today in humble consecration,
Open wide the door, the blessing claim. [Chorus]
