O come to my heart, Lord Jesus

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 421 hymnals First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown When Thou earnest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home there was found no room For Thy holy nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee! 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But in lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee! 3 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word That should set Thy children free; But with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee! 4 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." And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee! Amen.

Warner Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 275 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus, the great Rock Foundation Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace: Nor life nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see His face. 3 We would see Jesus; sense is all too blinding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away; We would see Thee, to gain a sweet reminding That Thou hast promised our great debt to pay. 4 We would see Jesus: this is all we’re needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.
