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.—Sel.
