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.
