Thou dist leave Thy throne
And
Thy kingly crown
When
Thou camest to earth for me;
But
in Bethlehem’s home
Was
there found no room
For
Thy holy nativity.
O
come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There
is room in my heart for Thee
2
Heaven’s
arches rang
When
the angels sang
Proclaiming
Thy royal degree;
But
of lowly birth
Didst
Thou come to earth,
And
in greatest humility
O
come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There
is room in my heart for Thee
3
The
foxes found rest,
And
the birds their nest
In
the shade of the forest tree;
But
Thy couch was the sod,
O
Thou Son of God,
In
the deserts of Galilee.
O
come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There
is room in my heart for Thee
4
Thou
camest, O Lord,
With
the living word
That
should set Thy people free;
But
with mocking scorn,
And
with crown of thorn,
They
bore Thee to Calvary.
O
come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There
is room in my heart for Thee
5
When
the heavens shall ring,
And
the angels sing,
At
Thy coming to victory,
Let
Thy voice call me home,
Saying,
“Yet there is room,
There
is room at My side for thee.”
My
heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When
Thou comest and callest for me.
