Thou didst leave Thy thone and Thy

1.Thou didst leave Thy thone 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:
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
There is room in my heart for Thee;
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
come,
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 cam'st Thou, Lord,
on earth,
And in great humility:
3.The foxes found rest, and the birds had
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:
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:
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
Thy cross is my only plea;
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
come,
Thy cross is my only plea.
5.When heaven's arches shall ring, and
her choirs shall sing
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me up, 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 for
me;
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord
Jesus!
When Thou comest and callest for
me.
