Verse 1
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
Chorus
O come to my heart Lord Jesus
There is room in my heart for Thee
Verse 2
Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang
And proclaimed Thee of royal degree
But in lowliest birth didst Thou come to earth
And in deepest humility
Verse 3
Though the fox found rest and the bird its nest
In the shade of the cedar tree
Yet the world found no bed for the Saviour’s head
In the deserts of Galilee
Verse 4
Though Thou camest Lord with the living word
That should set all Thy people free
Yet with treachery scorn and a crown of thorn
Did they bear Thee to Calvary
Verse 5
When the heavens shall ring and the angels sing
At Thy coming to victory
Let Thy voice call me home saying
Heaven has room
There is room at my side for thee
Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott, Michael Forster, Timothy Richard Matthews
