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:

Refrain:
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 thou didst come to earth,
And in great humility: [Refrain]

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 desert of Galilee: [Refrain]

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." [Refrain]

1 Tú dejaste tu trono y corona por mí,
al venir a Belén a nacer;
mas a ti no fue dado el entrar al mesón
y en establo te hicieron nacer.

Estribillo:
Ven a mi corazón, ¡oh Cristo!
pues en él hay lugar para ti.

2 Alabanzas celestes los ángeles dan,
en que rinden al Verbo loor;
mas humilde viniste a la tierra, Señor,
a dar vida al más vil pecador. [Estribillo]

3 Siempre pueden las zorras sus cuevas tener,
y las aves sus nidos también;
mas el Hijo del hombre no tuvo un lugar
en el cual reclinara su sien. [Estribillo]

4 Alabanzas sublimes los cielos darán,
cuando vengas glorioso de allí,
y tu voz entre nubes dira: "Ven a mí,
que hay lugar junto a mí para ti".
Me regocijaré, ¡oh Cristo!
pues tendrás un lugar para mí.
