Yet there is room

Meter: 10.10.10.10.

Scripture: Luk 14:22

1

“Yet there is room” The Lamb's bright hall of song,

With its fair glory, beckons thee along:

Room, room, still room! oh, enter, enter now!

2

Day is declining, and the sun is low;

The shadows lengthen, light makes haste to go

Room, room, still room! oh, enter, enter now!

3

The bridal hall is filling for the feast

Pass in, pass in, and be the Bridegroom's guest.

Room, room, still room! oh, enter, enter now!

4

Yet there is room! still open stands the gate-

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

Room, room, still room! oh, enter, enter now!

5

Pass in! pass in! That banquet is for thee:

That cup of everlasting love is free;

Room, room, still room, oh, enter, enter now!

6

All heav’n is there! all joy! Go in, go in!

The angels beckon thee the prize to win:

Room, room, still room, oh, enter, enter now!

7

Louder and sweeter sounds the loving call;

Come, ling’rer, come! enter that festal hall:

Room, room, still room, oh, enter, enter now!

8

It fills, it fills, that hall of jubilee!

Make haste, make haste! 'tis not too full for thee!

Room, room, still room, oh enter, enter now!

9

Ere night that gate may close, and seal thy doom,

Then the last, low, long cry, "No room, no room!”

No room, no room! oh, woeful cry! No room!”
