Let Jesus Come into Your Heart

433 Let Jesus Come into Your Heart

1 If you are tired of the load of your sin,
   Let Jesus come into your heart;
   If you desire a new life to begin,
   Let Jesus come into your heart.

Refrain:
   Just now your doubtings give o'er;
   Just now reject Him no more;
   Just now throw open the door;
   Let Jesus come into your heart.

2 If 'tis for purity now that you sigh,
   Let Jesus come into your heart;
   Fountains for cleansing are flowing near by,
   Let Jesus come into your heart. [Refrain]

3 If there's a tempest your voice cannot still,
   Let Jesus come into your heart;
   If there's a void this world never can fill,
   Let Jesus come into your heart. [Refrain]

4 If you would join the glad songs of the blest,
   Let Jesus come into your heart;
   If you would enter the mansions of rest,
   Let Jesus come into your heart. [Refrain]

I don't know if anyone ever clicks through to the bibliography of the hymnwriters, but some of them are really interesting. This author started to go blind in her early 50s, so her son built a 28 ft. blackboard with oversized music staffs so she could continue to compose music!
