Make Room for Me

Author: W. H. G. Hymnal: Melodious Sonnets #105 (1885) First Line: A little boy lay down to rest Refrain First Line: Make room for me, Lord Jesus Lyrics: 1 A little boy lay down to rest Close by his father’s side, And dreamed of heaven, that city fair, Whose gate stands open wide; He saw the Saviour’s loving face, He oft had longed to see, While from his lips went forth a prayer, “Make room in heaven for me.” Refrain: Make room for me, Lord Jesus, Make room in heaven for me; Hast thou not room up yonder, Lord, For a little boy like me? 2 The father heard the simple prayer And closely held his boy, When o’er his face a light broke forth Of heaven’s lasting joy; No other words came from his heart Save these, said earnestly, “Dear, blessed Lord, make room in heaven For a little boy like me.” [Refrain] 3 The Saviour heard his yearning plea, And sent an angel down To tell the child to enter in, And take his golden crown; Up through the sky he sped his way To yonder city fair, And found, indeed, a room in heaven, Forever his,—up there. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [A little boy lay down to rest]
