Thou didst 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
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
Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word
That would set Thy people free
But with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn
They led 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."
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus
When Thou comest and callest for me
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus
When Thou comest and callest for me
