“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!”
