He Left His Throne 

A few lines from the December 8 page of our book of 365 hymns.

With the words updated to our times.

You did leave your throne and your kingly crown,

When you came to earth for me.

Of lowly birth you came to earth and in great humility. 

You came O Lord, with the living Word

That you should set your people free.

But with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn,

They carried you to Calvary. 

When the heavens shall ring and the angels sing

At your coming to victory,

Let you voice call me home, saying,

"Yes, there is room at My side for you."
