Ordinary Time - How Sweet and Awesome Is the Place lyrics

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