<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,<br>
|
|
When Thou camest to earth for me;<br>
|
|
But in Bethlehem’s home was there found no room<br>
|
|
For Thy holy nativity.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,<br>
|
|
There is room in my heart for Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang,<br>
|
|
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;<br>
|
|
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,<br>
|
|
And in great humility.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest<br>
|
|
In the shade of the forest tree;<br>
|
|
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,<br>
|
|
In the deserts of Galilee.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word,<br>
|
|
That should set Thy people free;<br>
|
|
But with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn,<br>
|
|
They bore Thee to Calvary.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,<br>
|
|
At Thy coming to victory,<br>
|
|
Let Thy voice call me home, saying “Yet there is room,<br>
|
|
There is room at My side for thee.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,<br>
|
|
When Thou comest and callest for me.</p>
