THOU DIDST LEAVE THY THRONE
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.
Refrain
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
Didst Thou come to
earth,
And in great
humility.
3. The foxes found
rest,
And the birds 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.
(Refrain)
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 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."
(Refrain)
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.
