Thy cross is my on - ly plea!

When heaven's ar - ches shall ring, and her choirs shall sing,

Let Thy voice call me home, saying, 'Yet there is room,
D G Dsus4 D7 G
There is room at My side for thee.'

And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Je - sus,
G7 C D7 C G C
When Thou com - est and cal - lest for me.
