      Whenever a proper Biblical view of the sovereignty of God is presented it will always produce either a bended knee or rebellion. — Jonathan Sims

How sweet and awe-full is the place
With Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores!

Here every bowel of our God
With soft compassion rolls;
Here peace and pardon bought with blood
Is food for dying souls.

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?

“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 feast
That sweetly drew us in;
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 race
May with one voice, and heart and soul,
Sing Thy redeeming grace.

Words: Isaac Watts, Hymns and Sac­red Songs, 1707.
Music: St. Columba, an­cient Ir­ish mel­o­dy.

    Word! Great hymn. Watts is always so humbling in his approach. So thankful I did not get what I deserve.

    This is the first time actually that I've learned of this hymn, while looking for a “Lord's day hymn” to post. Was immediately inlove with it! And yes, sir Watts is one of my fave authors as well.
