How sweet and awful is the Place

Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #HXIII (1760) Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awful is the Place with Christ within the Doors, While everlasting Love displays the choicest of her Stores! 2 Here ev'ry Bowel of our God with soft Compassion rolls; Here Peace and Pardon bought with Blood is Food for dying Souls. 3 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? 4 "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"? 5 'Twas the same Love that spread the Feast, that sweetly forc'd us in, Else we had still refus'd to taste, and perish'd in our Sin. 6 Pity the Nations, O our God. constrain the earth to come; Send thy victorious Word abroad, and bring the Strangers Home. 7 We long to see thy Churches full, that all the chosen Race, May with one Voice, and Heart, and Soul, sing thy redeeming Grace.
