Thou didst leave thy throne

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott, 1836 - 97 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Adoration and Praise 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 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.' And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When thou comest and callest for me. Used With Tune: MARGARET

Author: Joseph Scriven, 1820 - 86 Appears in 1,757 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Petition and Intercession Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our refuge; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer: In his arms he'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: ERIE (WHAT A FRIEND)
