Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School #58 (1891) First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Refrain First Line: Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus! Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy home and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethl’hem’s home there was found no room
For Thy holy nativity.
Refrain:
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
There is room in my heart for Thee.
2 Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang,
When they told of Thy high degree;
But in lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in greatest humility. [Refrain]
3 Foxes found their rest, and the birds their nest,
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was sod, O Thou Son of God!
In the desert of Galilee. [Refrain]
4 Thou camest, Lord, with the living word
That should set Thy people free;
But with mock and scorn, and with crown and thorn,
Did they bear Thee to Calvary. [Refrain] Topics: Coming to Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown]
Room in My Heart for Thee
