Divine Love Making a Feast

Verse 1

How sweet and awful is the place with Christ within the doors, while everlasting love displays the choicest of her stores.

Verse 2

While 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?

Verse 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?"

Verse 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.

Verse 5

Pity the nations, O our God, constrain the earth to come; send Thy victorious Word abroad, and bring the strangers home.

Verse 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.
