How Sweet and Aweful Is the Place
by Sovereign Grace Music

Album: Together For The Gospel, Vol. 1 - Live

Verse 1
How sweet and aweful 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 cry with thankful tongues
"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
