There Still Is RoomThere still is room! His house is not yet filled;
Not all the guests are there.
Oh, bring them in! Their hunger shall be stilled
With bread, yes, bread to spare.
Go, call them from the lanes and byways,
From winding roads and crowded highways.
There still is room! There still is room!
There still is time! The Master's voice still rings,
And all his heralds plead:
"Oh, hide beneath the shelter of his wings
Against the time of need."
The gracious call is still extended;
The day of grace is not yet ended.
There still is time! There still is time!
Now is the time! How fast the moments fly!
How soon each hour is gone!
You virgins, hear and heed the midnight cry;
Look for the break of dawn.
The Bridegroom comes; prepare to greet him.
Rise! Trim your lamps! Go out to meet him!
Now is the time! Now is the time!
