Hymn 401: “Yet there is room”: the Lamb’s bright hall of song

Aye si mbe! ile Odagutan

  1. “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.

  2. Day is declining, and the sun is low;
    The shadows lengthen, light makes haste to go;
    Room, room, still room! O 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! O enter, enter now.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. O enter in; that banquet is for thee;
    That cup of everlasting joy is free;
    Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now.

  7. 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.

  8. Louder and sweeter sounds the loving call;
    Come, lingerer, come; enter that festal hall;
    Room, room, still room! O 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! O woeful cry, “No room!” Amen.
