1 Come, let us who in Christ believe,
Our common Saviour praise:
To Him with joyful voices give
The glory of His grace.
2 He now stands knocking at the door
Of every sinner’s heart:
The worst need keep Him out no more,
Nor force Him to depart.
3 Through grace we hearken to Thy voice,
Yield to be saved from sin;
In sure and certain hope rejoice,
That Thou wilt enter in.
4 Come quickly in, Thou heavenly Guest,
Nor ever hence remove;
But sup with us, and let the feast
Be everlasting love.
Charles Wesley
The Methodist Hymnal 1964 edition

I don't recall ever singing this hymn, and uniquely for a Wesley hymn, there only seems to be these four verses. It isn't very popular, only occurring in 96 hymnals.
