Let Jesus Come into Your Heart

“Let Jesus Come into Your Heart” is a heartfelt gospel hymn written by Mrs. C. H. Morris, also known as Claribel Hayward Morris, during the early 1900s. The hymn invites sinners to open their hearts to Jesus Christ and accept His saving grace. It draws from the biblical imagery of Christ standing at the door and knocking, emphasizing the personal nature of His call to salvation.

The lyrics focus on the invitation and the promise of peace, joy, and salvation that come from welcoming Jesus into one’s life. The refrain encourages the listener to “let Jesus come into your heart,” expressing the desire for repentance and the beginning of a new spiritual life. This hymn has been widely used in revival meetings, altar calls, and personal evangelism because of its simple, clear message of surrender to Christ.

Musically, the hymn is typically sung with a gentle, uplifting melody that supports its warm and earnest tone. Over the years, it has remained a popular choice for churches and Christian gatherings, helping many to respond to the gospel call. The hymn’s lasting appeal lies in its straightforward invitation and assurance of Christ’s readiness to enter and transform any heart that opens to Him.
