Young People's Songs of Praise ‎#81

81. Make Room for Jesus

1 Make room, make room for Jesus,
Whose birth the angels sang,
When Heav’n and earth together,
With Hallelujahs rang.

Refrain:
Throw open wide the portals,
Of every doubting heart,
That Jesus now may enter
And never more depart.

2 Make room, make room for Jesus,
Our Saviour, Lord and King,
Who left His Father’s glory,
The gift of life to bring. [Refrain]

3 Make room, make room for Jesus,
Our great exalted Head,
Who left His Father’s glory,
And suffered in our stead. [Refrain]

4 Lo, at the door He standeth,
The night dew on His brow,
O, do not keep Him waiting,
But let Him enter now. [Refrain]
