To Thy Barred And Bolted Door

To thy barred and bolted door,

Gently as a wooing dove,

Jesus comes as oft before,

Pleading in His tender love.

Refrain

Let Him in; let Him in;

Sinner, why not make Him room?

Let Him in; let Him in;

Lest He never more may come.

Haste and open wide the door,

Banish ev'ry thought of sin;

Why refuse and grieve Him more;

Quickly rise and let Him in.

Refrain

He a royal feast will spread,

He will bring a boundless store;

Thou shalt taste "The Living Bread,"

And be blest forevermore.

Refrain

He is knocking, waiting still;

Why in madness yet delay?

Why refuse His mercy till

He aggrieved shall turn away?
