53. Room for Jesus

1 Room for Jesus; can it be,
Bethlehem could find no place
For the Christ of Galilee,—
Saviour of a fallen race?

Refrain:
O, my Mater, Thou wilt find
Room within my heart for Thee;
And I know Thou, ever kind,
Wilt make room in Thine for me.

2 Does He yet inquire in vain
For a place His head to lay?
Can I still His plea disdain,
Let Him turn from me away? [Refrain]

3 Enter in, O Heav’nly Guest,
Make my heart Thy dwelling fair;
Then am I forever blest
With my Saviour’s presence there. [Refrain]

4 I, with Christ, am one today;
Weakness I, but strength is He,
Will He ever with me stay?
Yes, thro’ all eternity. [Refrain]
