Lyrics

Room at the cross for a tremb­ling soul,
Room at the cross for you;
Where the sin-la­den may be made whole,
Room at the cross for you.

Refrain

Room, room, room at the cross,
Room at the cross for you;
Room, room, room at the cross,
Room at the cross for you.

Room at the cross for a break­ing heart,
Room at the cross for you;
Choose, then, like Ma­ry, the bet­ter part,
Room at the cross for you.

Refrain

Room at the cross for earth’s wea­ry and worn,
Room at the cross for you;
Come, then, oh! come, then, ye souls who mourn,
Room at the cross for you.
