No room in the inn to await the coming morn No room in the inn for a baby to be born Little comfort at his birth for the King of all the earth No room; no room. No room in the inn for this stranger from afar No room in the inn -- no the doors are locked and barred Not a chamber, rich or poor, nor a place upon the floor No room, no room Such has his welcome been. ''Chorus:'' Make room, oh my heart, turn thou not thy Lord away Make room, oh my heart, bid him welcome -- bid him stay Prepare him all thy best Keep him evermore thy guest No room, Lord, for thee? No room? Stay with me! The finest my soul can afford Shall be all thine own, dearest Lord. No room 'mid the toils or the pleasures of our day No room in our lives for a baby on the hay Not a moment to abide, kneeling at the manger-side No room, no room No room 'mid the cares of the heedless sons of men No room in our world for the Child of Bethlehem Not an hour in our haste left unfilled to give him place No room, no room Such has his welcome been. (Repeat chorus)
