1 I heard a sweet voice calling,
Calling all the day;
It filled my heart with longing,
I could not turn away;
It sounded clear above life’s din,
I am thy Lord, may I come in?

Refrain:
Come in my Lord, come in today,
And take away my load of sin;
No longer may I turn away,
O blessed Lord, come in, come in.

2 I heard a sweet voice pleading,
Pleading all the day;
It filled my heart with yearning,
I knew not what to say;
It sounded clear above my sin,
I died for thee, may I come in? [Refrain]

3 I heard a sweet voice whisper,
Whisper soft and low;
It filled my heart with gladness,
He said “I love you so,”
I gave my life thy love to win,
I am thy Lord, may I come in? [Refrain]
