1. "No room" within the dwelling
For Him whose love excelling
Towards those who never sought Him,
To earth from heaven brought Him,
Who counted not the cost
To seek the lost.

2. "No room;" so to the manger
They bore the kingly stranger;
But angel hosts attended
And angel voices blended,
Whilst on His mother's breast
He lay at rest.

3. "No room;" O Babe so tender
To Thee our hearts we render,
Not meet for Thy possessing,
Yet make them by Thy blessing
A home wherein to dwell,
Emmanuel!
