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.]
