- 1How sweet and awful is the place,
- With Christ within the doors,
- While everlasting love displays
- The choicest of her stores.
- 2When all our hearts, and all our songs,
- Join to admire the feast,
- Each of us cries with thankful tongue,
- "Lord, why was I a guest?"
- 3"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?"
- 4'Twas the same love that spread the feast,
- That sweetly drew us in;
- Else we had still refused to taste,
- And perished in our sin.
- 5Pity the nations, O our God!
- Constrain the earth to come;
- Send thy victorious word abroad,
- And bring the strangers home.
