GHS 155 : Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart Lyrics
GHS 155, “Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart,” is one of the most direct and widely used invitation hymns in the evangelical tradition. Written by Lelia N. Morris, the hymn meets the sinner exactly where they are: tired of sin, sighing for purity, in the grip of a tempest that no voice can still, feeling the void that nothing in the world can fill. To every one of these conditions it offers the same answer: let Jesus come into your heart. The hymn does not complicate the invitation or delay it; the refrain presses the urgency of the present moment, just now, just now, throw open the door.
This hymn appears as number 155 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa, and it is sung at crusades and evangelism services across the continent.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 155: Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart
- 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.
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.
-
If ’tis for purity now that you sigh, Let Jesus come into your heart; Fountains for cleansing are flowing nearby, Let Jesus come into your heart.
-
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.
-
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.
