HYMN: There's a stranger at the door | Alejo kan ma nkan ‘kun

ENGLISH LYRICS: There's a stranger at the door

Behold I stand at the door, and knock. Rev.3:20

1.  There's a stranger at the door,
    Let Him in;
    He has been there oft before,
    Let Him in;
    Let Him in, ere He is gone,
    Let Him in, the Holy One,
    Jesus Christ the Father's son
    Let Him in.

2. Open now to Him your heart
    Let Him in;
    If you wait He will depart;
    Let Him in;
    Let Him in, He is your Friend,
    He your soul will sure defend,
    He will keep you to the end,
    Let Him in.

3. Hear you now His loving voice?
    Let Him in;
    Now, oh, now make Him your choice,
    Let Him in;
    He is standing at your door,
    Joy to you He will restore,
    And His name you will adore,
    Let Him in.

4. Now admit the heavenly Guest,
    Let Him in;
    He will make for you a feast,
    Let Him in;
    He will speak your sins forgiven,
    And when earth ties all are riven,
    He will take you home to heaven,
    Let Him in.

Amen.
