D | Em | A | Bm | F# | |
Thou didst leave Thy | throne | and Thy | kingly | crown, |
A | D | A | |
When Thou | camest to | earth for | me; |
D | Ddim7 | A | E7 | |
But in Beth | lehem's | home was there | found no | room |
A | E7 | A | |
For Thy | holy na | tivit | y. |
Chorus: |
D | G | A | |
O | come to my heart, Lord | Je | sus, |
D | A7 | D | |
There is | room in my | heart for | Thee. |
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. |
Chorus |
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. |
Chorus |
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. |
Chorus |
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. |
