1 Behold me standing at the door,
And hear me pleading evermore,
With gentle voice, O heart of sin,
May I come in? May I come in?
Refrain:
Behold me standing at the door,
And hear me pleading evermore;
Say, weary heart, oppressed with sin,
May I come in? May I come in?
2 I bore the cruel thorns for thee;
I waited long and patiently;
Say, weary heart, oppressed with sin,
May I come in? May I come in? [Refrain]
3 I would not plead with thee in vain;
Remember all my grief and pain!
I died to ransom thee from sin,
May I come in? May I come in? [Refrain]
4 I bring thee joy from heaven above;
I bring thee pardon, peace and love;
Say, weary heart, oppressed with sin,
May I come in? May I come in?
