Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott, 1836-1897 Meter: Irregular Appears in 417 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 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 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 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:" My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus! When Thou comest and callest for me. Amen. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Jesus Christ Scripture: John 1:11 Used With Tune: MARGARET
