Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 421 hymnals First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and thy kingly crown 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 heav'ns 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! Topics: Christ Birth; The Life of Christ Life and Ministry Used With Tune: MARGARET

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson; Margaret Clarkson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,217 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above, Praise His name--I'm fixed upon it-- Name of God's redeeming love. 2 Hitherto Thy love has blest me; Thou hast bro't me to this place; And I know Thy hand will bring me Safely home by Thy good grace. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand'ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Bo't me with His precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it; Seal it for Thy courts above.
