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 heav'ns arches shall ring and its 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!"
