NO ROOM FOR JESUS.

O plodding life, crowded so full Of earthly toil and care! The body's daily need receives The first and last concern, and leaves No room for Jesus there.
O busy brain! by night and day Working with patience rare, Problems of worldly loss or gain, Thinking till thought becomes a pain; No room for Jesus there.
O throbbing heart! so quick to feel In others' woes a share, Yet human loves each power enthrall, And sordid treasures fill it all! No room for Jesus there.
O sinful soul! thus to debase The being God doth spare! Blood-bought, thou art no more thine own, Heart, brain, life, all are his alone; Make room for Jesus there,—
Lest soon the bitter day shall come When vain will be thy prayer To find in Jesus' heart a place; Forever closed the door of grace, Thou'lt gain no entrance there.
