Author: Ada R. Habershon Hymnal: Alexander's Gospel Songs No. 8 #21 (1908) First Line: A manger, a cross, a grave Refrain First Line: No room for Him Lyrics: 1 A manger, a cross, a grave
Were all that the earth could give
To Him who had come to save,
Who suffered that we might live.
Refrain:
No room for Him, no room for Him,
In the crowded inn,
In the world of sin,
No room for the Lord of all.
2 The world had been made by Him,
Yet offered Him naught beside,
No room could they find for Him,
The Saviour was left outside. [Refrain]
3 He came to His own dear land,
Yet was by His own despised,
But they who received Him knew
Their King, who was thus disguised. [Refrain]
4 The manger, the cross, the grave,
Were each for a season lent,
Yet all things belonged to Him
The King who to Calv’ry went. [Refrain]
5 He never could make His home
Where sin sets its crimson stamp,
He calls us to follow Him,
To go forth without the camp. [Refrain] Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Languages: English Tune Title: [A manger, a cross, a grave]
