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