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
<idle musing>
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.
