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.

And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee! Amen. Scripture: Luke 9:58 Used With Tune: MARGARET
