Yet There Is Room

lyricist: Horatius Bonar, 1879
Composer: Uzziah Burnap, 1895

Yet there is room: the Lamb’s bright hall of song

With its fair glo­ry

beck­ons thee along;

Room

room

still room! O en­ter

en­ter now.

Day is de­clin­ing

and the sun is low;

The sha­dows length­en

light makes haste to go;

Room

room

still room! O en­ter

en­ter now.

The brid­al hall is fill­ing for the feast;

Pass in

pass in

and be the Bride­groom’s guest;

Room

room

still room! O en­ter

en­ter now.

It fills

it fills

that hall of ju­bi­lee!

Make haste

make haste; ’tis not too full for thee;

Room

room

still room! O en­ter

en­ter now.

Yet there is room: still op­en stands the gate

The gate of love; it is not yet too late:

Room

room

still room! O en­ter

en­ter now.

O en­ter in; that banq­uet is for thee;

That cup of ev­er­last­ing joy is free;

Room

room

still room! O en­ter

en­ter now.

All Heav­en is there

all joy! Go in

go in;

The an­gels beck­on thee the prize to win:

Room

room

still room! O en­ter

en­ter now.

Louder and sweet­er sounds the lov­ing call;

Come

lin­ger­er

come; en­ter that fes­tal hall;

Room

room

still room! O en­ter

en­ter now.

Ere night that gate may close

and seal thy doom;

Then the last low

long cry

No room

no room!

No room

no room! O woe­ful cry

No room!
