English text

The composer set verses 1,3 & 5
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:

Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
  There is room in my heart for Thee;
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus, come,
  There is room in my heart for Thee.

3. The foxes found rest, and the birds had 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:

Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
  There is room in my heart for Thee;
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus, come,
  There is room in my heart for Thee.

5. When the heavens shall ring, and the angels shall sing
  At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me up, saying, “Yet there is room,
  There is room at My side for thee!”

And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus!
  When Thou comest and callest for me;
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus!
  When Thou comest and callest for me.)
