Which Room?

(Luke 24.29)

I have walked along with the Saviour,

In the brightness of the day;

We have reached my home, and 'tis evening,

Shall I ask Him in, to stay?

He talked with me oft as we journeyed,

And His words thrilled my ransomed heart:

Should I bid Him stay, and be welcome,

Or shall I let Him depart?

For sure! I will bid Him tarry

And spend the night as my guest,

But which room shall I give the Saviour?

Must it be the very best?

Now I always use the best room;

I wonder whether He'd mind

If I offered Him the spare-room,

Or would it be too unkind?

Ah yes I must make Him welcome

And give Him the very best An open heart, and a yielded life,

For Jesus, my heavenly guest.
