Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 433 hymnals Topics: Church Year Christmas; Christmas Day; Christ Longing for; Christ Second Advent of; Names and Office of Christ King; Consecration; Mystical union; Second Advent 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 bird had its 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 children 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 heavens 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 to call for me.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Used With Tune: MARGARET

And bound me with thy love.

And thy rich grace record;

If I forsake the Lord.

No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
Unite my thankful heart to thee,
And reign without a rival there.
Thine wholly, thine alone I am;
Be thou alone my constant flame.
2 O grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell, but thy pure love alone;
O may thy love possess me whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown;
Strange fires far from my soul remove;
May every act, word, thought, be love.
3 O Love, how cheering is thy ray!
All pain before thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where'er thy healing beams arise.
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire or seek, but thee.
4 Unwearied, may I this pursue,
Dauntless, to this high prize aspire;
Hourly within my soul renew
This holy flame, this heavenly fire;
And day and night be all my care
To guard this sacred treasure there. Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG (CHERUBIC HYMN)

And will the great eternal God
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Consecration of a Church Lyrics: 1 And will the great eternal God
On earth establish his abode?
And will he from his radiant throne
Regard our temples for his own?
2 We bring the tribute of our praise;
And sing that condescending grace,
Which to our notes will lend an ear,
And call us sinful mortals near.
3 Our Father's watchful care we bless,
Which guards our house of pray'r in peace,
That no tumultuous foes invade,
To fill our worshippers with dread.
4 These walls we to thy honour raise:
Long may they echo with thy praise;
And thou, descending, fill the place
With choicest tokens of thy grace.
5 And in the great decisive day,
When God the nations shall survey,
May it before the world appear,
That crowds were born to glory here!
And will the great eternal God

From the foes they captive make;
Jesus, by a nobler deed,
From the thousands he hath freed.

Unto mortals under heaven,
Which can make the dead arise,
And exalt them to the skies.
3 Rather gladly for that Name
Bear the Cross, endure the shame;
Joyfully for him to die
Is not death but victory. A-men.
4 Jesus, who dost condescend
To be called the sinner's friend,
Hear us, as to thee we pray,
Glorying in thy Name to-day.
5 Glory to the Father be,
Glory, Holy Son, to thee,
Glory to the Holy Ghost,
From the saints and angel-host.

Eternal life obtain.

Sweet peace into my heart,
And who my soul restorest,
Let not Thy grace depart.
And, while His Name confessing
Whom I by faith have known,
Grant me Thy constant blessing,
Make me for aye Thine own.
