Don’t turn Him Away

  

Patiently, tenderly pleading Jesus is standing today;
At your heart’s door He knocks as before O turn Him no longer away.

Refrain
Don’t turn Him away, don’t turn Him away,
He has come back to your heart again although you’ve gone astray;
O how you’ll need Him to plead your cause on that eternal day!
Don’t turn the Savior away from your heart, O don’t turn Him away.

Gracious, compassionate mercy brought Him from mansions above;
Caused Him to wait just outside your gate O yield to His wonderful love

Can you not now hear Him calling? Do not ill treat such a Friend;
Give up your sin O let Him come in Lo He will be true to the end.

Now is the time to receive Him, Grant Him admission today;
Grieve Him no more, but open your door and turn Him no longer away.
