No Room for Jesus

Author: Mrs. Hall Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 2 #114 (1890) First Line: No room for Jesus! the world is so wide Refrain First Line: Make room for Jesus, oh, why do you wait? Lyrics: 1 No room for Jesus! the world is so wide, Business and pleasure thrust Jesus aside, No time to think of the heaven so nigh, No room for Jesus till just as you die. Chorus: Make room for Jesus, oh, why do you wait? If you thus tarry it may be too late; The voice of His mercy death's waters will drown, And you be too late for a kingdom, a crown. 2 No room for Jesus! hearts burdened with care, Vainly seek rest without even a pray'r; And gleaming in fields that are barren and dead, And passing unheeded the life-giving bread. [Chorus] 3 No room for Jesus! when death is so near, Coming so quickly, whose presence we fear; When comfortless over some loved one we weep, No room for Jesus when sorrow runs deep. [Chorus] 4 No room for Jesus! oh, would I could tell, All of redemption so wisely and well, That some heart would hasten to open the door, Make room for Jesus to dwell evermore. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [No room for Jesus! the world is so wide]

Rob­lin (a an­a­gram of his name) ================ Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy. At age 8, he had to leave school to help support the family. At age 15, living in Chicago, he had a great singing voice and sang in German beer gardens there. At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks.
