This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  There's a Stranger at the door,

          Let Him in;

    He has been there oft before,

          Let Him in;

    Let Him in, ere He is gone,

    Let Him in, the Holy One,

    Jesus Christ, the Father's Son,

          Let Him in.

 

 2  Open now to Him your heart,

          Let Him in;

    If you wait He will depart,

          Let Him in;

    Let Him in, He is your Friend,

    He your soul will sure defend,

    He will keep you to the end,

          Let Him in.

 

 3  Hear you now His loving voice?

          Let Him in;

    Now, oh, now make Him your choice,

          Let Him in;

    He is standing at your door,

    Joy to you He will restore,

    And His name you will adore,

          Let Him in.

 

 4  Now admit the heav'nly Guest,

          Let Him in;

    He will make for you a feast,

          Let Him in;

    He will speak your sins forgiv'n.

    And when earth ties all are riv'n,

    Comfort, rest, you will be giv'n,

          Let Him in.
