Let Him In

By Pearl Waggoner

PEARL WAGGONER
“But he could not be hid,” Although he wished it so; No walls nor doors could e’er forbid That they his place should know. The tidings quickly sped To all the country ’round, And many came, and then rejoiced That they the Christ had found.
You can not hope to hide The fragrance of the rose, Its sweetness scatters far and wide, Its presence each one knows. No need is there to tell That such a flower is there, Its subtle perfume permeates And sweetens all the air.
And so where Christ comes in To sup and there abide, To cleanse the heart from gloom and sin, His presence none can hide: ’Twill glorify the life, ’Twill shine through e’en the face, While to the actions ’twill impart A new and added grace.
And lo, the very hour He enters in, to-day, Some longing one will feel his power And can not keep away. Is it your chief desire Some soul for Christ to win? Just open wide your own heart’s door And let the Saviour in.
