Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Author: Emily S. Elliott Meter: 10.8.11.8 with refrain Appears in 421 hymnals First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Refrain First Line: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there 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 of lowly birth Thou didst come to earth,
And in great humility.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee!
3 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.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee!
4 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.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee!
5 When the heavens shall ring and her choir shall 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,
When Thou comest and callest for me.

Fair Zion

Thy marvelous light we behold,
Which shone on the nations enshrouded by darkness,
And millions were brought to thy fold.
Refrain:
O Zion, fair Zion, thou church of the firstborn,
My heart in its rapture rejoices in thee;
The angels in heaven behold thee with wonder,
Thou glorious city, thou home of the free.
2 Eclipsed was thy luster by long papal night,
And dimly the dark cloudy day
Revealed thee to eyes that were earnestly searching
For truth and the heavenly way. [Refrain]
3 Thy light as the morning breaks forth in the earth,
Thy brightness all nations shall see;
The ransomed from Babel are eagerly turning
With songs of rejoicing to thee. [Refrain]
4 O Zion, blest Zion, thy sun shall no more
Go down in obscurity’s night;
From out thy perfection of beauty is shining
The rays of God’s wonderful light. [Refrain]
5 Eternity’s ages of bliss shall be thine,
In regions unclouded above;
And there shalt thou dwell evermore with thy Maker,
Delighting thyself in His love.
