Patiently Tenderly Pleading Negus is Standing Today

Patiently Tenderly pleading
Negus is standing today
At your heart door he knocks as before
So turn him no longer away
Don't turn him away
Don't turn him away
He has come back to your heart again
Although you have gone astray
O how you need him to plead your cause on that eternal day
Don't turn the Savior away from your heart
Don't turn him away
Gracious compassionate mercy
Granted from mansions above
Cause Him to wait just outside your gate
O heed to his wonderful love
Can you not now hear him calling
Do not ill-treat such a friend
Give up your sin and let him come in
Though he'll be true to the end
Now is the time to receive him
Grant him admission today
Grieve him no more but open your door
And turn him no longer away
