Room for the World

Room for the world at the cross of the Sav­ior

Room where for­giv­eness He waits to be­stow;

Room where so ma­ny have laid down their bur­dens

Room at the wa­ters of cleans­ing that flow.

Say

will you come? The Spir­it now is plead­ing;

Jesus above for you is in­ter­ced­ing:

Why will you still

His ten­der love un­heed­ing

Perish for­ev­er in sight of the cross?

Room for the world in the fold of the Sav­ior

Room at the feast by His mer­cy pre­pared;

Come

ye that hun­ger

His boun­ty re­ceiv­ing

Feed on the bless­ings that mill­ions have shared.

Room for the world in the ark of the Sav­ior

Yonder the tem­pest is sweep­ing apace;

No one but Je­sus can shield and de­fend you

Haste to the shel­ter and re­fuge of grace.

Room for the world in the arms of the Sav­ior

Room for the friend­less

the lone and op­pressed;

There will He com­fort the poor and for­sak­en

There to the wea­ry He giv­eth sweet rest.
