Thou didst leave

- 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.
- 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.
- Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang,
- proclaiming Thy royal degree;
- but of lowly birth camest Thou, Lord, on earth,
- and in great humility.
- 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.
- 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.
- When heaven’s arches shall ring, and her choirs shall 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 for me;
- and my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus!
- When Thou comest and callestfor me.
