Cântăre Thou didst leave thy throne

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 decree;

But of lowly birth

Cam'st Thou, Lord, on earth

And in great humility:

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus!

There is room in my heart for Thee.



4) Thou camest, O Lord,

With Thy 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!

Thy cross is my only plea.
