Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 425 hymnals Topics: The Life of Christ Life and Ministry 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! Used With Tune: MARGARET

Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: The Life of Christ Life and Ministry Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem, Of shepherds watching there, And of the news that came to them From angels in the air. The light that shone on Bethlehem Fills all the world today; Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth The angels sing alway. 2 O sing a song of Nazareth, Of sunny days of joy. O sing of fragrant flowers' breath, And of the sinless Boy; For now the flowers on Nazareth In every heart may grow; Now spreads the fame of His dear name On all the winds that blow. 3 O sing a song of Galilee, Of lake and woods and hill, Of Him who walked upon the sea And bade its waves be still: For tho' like waves on Galilee, Dark seas of trouble roll, When faith has heard the Master's word, Falls peace upon the soul. 4 O sing a song of Calvary, Its glory and dismay; Of Him who hung upon the tree And took our sins away: For He who died on Calvary Is risen from the grave, And Christ, our Lord, by heav'n adored, Is mighty now to save.

In my hand no price I bring; Simply to Thy cross I cling. 3 While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown And behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
