Author: Miss P. J. Owens Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #256 (1885) First Line: As we travel on from day to day Refrain First Line: No room, no room Lyrics: 1 As we travel on from day to day,
On the road to mansions shining,
Let us meet the ills of the rugged way,
With a true heart unrepining.
And when we have done our work at last,
For the Master nobly striven,
The crown will shine, and the cross be past,—
No room for the cross in heav’n.
Chorus:
No room, no room,
No room for the cross in heav’n,
No room, no room,
No room for the cross in heav’n.
2 Hard and heavy may its burden be,
But its weight I’ll dread no longer;
Since it is the cross that was framed for me,
It will make me bolder, stronger.
My Lord will its heaviness divide,
While His joy and strength are given;
The realms of glory are vast and wide,—
No room for the cross in heav’n. [Chorus]
3 Then take up the cross with a firm hand,
Take the cross of Christ’s ordaining,
Onward press to bounds of the heav’nly land,
Thou wilt feel His might sustaining.
The feet may get weary in the way,
But if faith is kept unriven,
We’ll hear the gracious Redeemer say,—
No room for the cross in heav’n. [Chorus]
