How Sweet and Aweful Is the Place

How Sweet and Aweful Is the Place Lyrics

1 How sweet and aweful is the place
With Christ within the doors
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores

2 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?”

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

5 Pity the nations, O our God
Constrain the earth to come
Send Thy victorious Word abroad
And bring the strangers home

6 We long to see Thy churches full
That all the chosen race
May with one voice and heart and soul
Sing Thy redeeming grace
