He Is Knocking

E. E. Hewitt         B. D. Ackley

He is knocking, softly knocking at the door;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
He will bring you richest blessing evermore;
Let Him in, O let Him in!

He is calling, gently calling to you now;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
See the pleading dews of mercy on His brow;
Let Him in, O let Him in!

He is waiting, kindly waiting still for you;
Let Him in, O let Him in;
Give Him welcome, joyful welcome, warm and true;
Let Him in, O let Him in!

CHORUS

Knocking! Knocking! Open wide the door,
Let Him in today, Ask Him in to stay;
Knocking, Knocking! Life He will restore,
When you open wide the door.
