Where Jesus may abide ?
And canst thou say to Him, Depart
Who for thee bled and died ?
Oh yes, there's room within my heart,
There's room, O Lord, for Thee :
Come in, and never more depart :
Come in ; abide with me
2 No room for Him whose glory light,
In lowly manger laid,
Shone forth in heavenly mansions bright,
Before the worlds were made !
3 I will, O Lord, unbar the door !
No longer stand outside ;
But come within, and evermore
In my poor heart abide.
4 Abide with me ; through all my days
Thy presence be my light ;
Then shall my mouth show forth Thy praise,
And I shall walk aright.
5 When comes at last the Judgment-day,
And I Thy face shall see,
What joy supreme to hear Thee say,
Come in ! there's room for thee.
