Lyrics

Room for the pe­ni­tent, bur­dened with sin,
Room at the op­en door—let him come in;
Weary and tem­pest tossed, where can he flee?
Jesus, Thou Lamb of God, on­ly to Thee.

Refrain

Room for the pe­ni­tent; where can he flee?
Jesus, Thou Lamb of God, on­ly to Thee.

Room where the liv­ing stream flows at His feet,
Room at the throne of grace—God’s mer­cy seat;
There may the brok­en heart lose all its grief,
There may the con­trite soul find sweet re­lief.

Refrain

Room at the bless­èd feast God has pre­pared,
Room where the bread of life mill­ions have shared;
Room where the smiles of love ten­der­ly fall;
Room in Thy arms, O Christ, room, room for all.
