Hymn 13

Divine love making a feast and calling in the guests.

Luke 14:17,22,23 How sweet and aweful is the

With Christ within the doors,

While everlasting love

The choicest of her stores!

Here every bowel of our

With soft compassion rolls;

Here peace and pardon bought with

Is food for dying souls.[While all our hearts and all our

Join to admire the feast,

Each of us cry with thankful tongues,"Lord, why was I a guest?"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?"]'Twas the same love that spread the

That sweetly forced us

Else we had still refused to taste,

And perished in our sin.[Pity the nations,

O our God!

Constrain the earth to come;

Send thy victorious word abroad,

And bring the strangers home.

We long to see thy churches full,

That all the chosen

May with one voice, and heart, and soul,

Sing thy redeeming grace.]
