1 Straight is the gate to heaven above, And narrow is the way; Yet there is room in God's great love For thee, for thee alway, For thee, for thee alway. 2 In Paradise there still is room, There still is room for thee; For thee the Savior hath a home, I:Where heavenly mansions be.:I 3 Though thousand times ten thousands stand White-robed in glory there, There is a place at God's right hand I:For thee in heaven so fair.:I 4 In Jesus' heart there still is room, In heaven is room also, The gospel message bids thee come, I:Praise God who loves thee, too.:I 5 Now God be praised, who even me A glorious diadem Will grant when I His glory see I:In His Jerusalem.:I
