"Why Was I A Guest?"

 "Why Was I A Guest?"

Isaac Watts, Bill & Karen Itzel

 

How sweet and aweful is the place with Christ within the doors

While ever - lasting love displays the choi - cest 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

Lord, Why was I A guest? Partaker in Your rest

Lord, nothing from me would suggest a worthy soul to bless

Why was I made to hear Thy voice and enter while there's room

When thousands make a wretched choice and ra - ther starve than come

'Twas the same love that spread the feast that sweetly drew us in

Else we had still re fused to taste and per - ished in our sin

Lord, Why was I A guest? Partaker in Your rest

Lord, nothing from me would suggest a worthy soul to bless

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 re - deeming grace.

Lord, Why was I A guest? Partaker in Your rest

Lord, nothing from me would suggest a worthy soul to bless

Lord, Why was I A guest? Partaker in Your rest

Lord, nothing in me to impress or call me as a guest

But You called me as a guest
