O come to my heart, Lord Jesus
 (Sung text for setting by P. Ambrose)
 See base text
Language: English 
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.

 ... 

The foxes found rest, 
And the birds 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.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.

 ... 

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 and callest for me.

Composition:

    Set to music by Paul Ambrose (1868 - 1941), "O come to my heart, Lord Jesus", stanzas 1,3,5
