<p>How sweet and awesome is this place<br>
|
|
[<em>originally</em> How sweet and aweful is the place]<br>
|
|
With Christ within the doors,<br>
|
|
While everlasting love displays<br>
|
|
The choicest of her stores!</p>
|
|
<p>Here every bowel of our God<br>
|
|
With soft compassion rolls;<br>
|
|
Here peace and pardon bought with blood<br>
|
|
Is food for dying souls.</p>
|
|
<p>While all our hearts and all our songs<br>
|
|
Join to admire the feast,<br>
|
|
Each of us cry, with thankful tongues,<br>
|
|
“Lord, why was I a guest?</p>
|
|
<p>“Why was I made to hear Thy voice,<br>
|
|
And enter while there’s room,<br>
|
|
When thousands make a wretched choice,<br>
|
|
And rather starve than come?”</p>
|
|
<p>’Twas the same love that spread the feast<br>
|
|
That sweetly drew us in;<br>
|
|
Else we had still refused to taste,<br>
|
|
And perished in our sin.</p>
|
|
<p>Pity the nations, O our God!<br>
|
|
Constrain the earth to come;<br>
|
|
Send Thy victorious Word abroad,<br>
|
|
And bring the strangers home.</p>
|
|
<p>We long to see Thy churches full,<br>
|
|
That all the chosen race<br>
|
|
May with one voice, and heart and soul,<br>
|
|
Sing Thy redeeming grace.</p>
