Thou didst leave Thy throne And Thy kingly crown
When Thou camest to earth for me
But in Bethlehem's home There was found no room for Thy holy nativity
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus
There is room in my heart for Thee!
Heaven's arches rang When the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree, But in lowly birth
Didst Thou come to earth And in great humility
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus
There is room in my heart for Thee!
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!
| |
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!
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."
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus
When Thou comest and callest me
