SS&S Hymn #429: Yet there is room

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

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.

3

The bridal hall is filling for the feast;
Pass in! pass in! and be the Bride groom’s guest:

4

It fills, it fills, that hall of jubilee!
Make haste, make haste! ’tis not too full for thee!

5

Yet there is room! still open stands the gate—
The gate of love; it is not yet too late:

6

Pass in! pass in! That banquet is for thee:
That cup of everlasting love is free;

7

All heaven is there! all joy! Go in, go in!
The angels beckon thee the prize to win:

8

Louder and sweeter sounds the loving call:
Come, lingerer, come! enter that festal hall:

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, woful cry I—" No room!"
