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