Verse 1:

  G+G     B minorBm  C majorC   G+G
How sweet and awful is the place

   G+G     B minorBm   D MajorD
With Christ within the doors,

   G+G  A minorAm   B minorBm   E minorEm
While everlasting love displays

  G+G    D MajorD C majorC  G+G
The choicest of her stores.

Verse 2:

   G+G    B minorBm     C majorC    G+G
While all our hearts and all our songs

   G+G  B minorBm    D MajorD
Join to admire the feast,

   G+G   A minorAm    B minorBm    E minorEm
Each of us cry, with thankful tongues,

    G+G    D MajorD C majorC G+G
“Lord, why was I a guest?”


Verse 3:

  G+G   B minorBm   C majorC    G+G
Why was I made to hear Thy voice,

  G+G   B minorBm      D MajorD
And enter while there’s room,

   G+G     A minorAm   B minorBm    E minorEm
When thousands make a wretched choice,

  G+G   D MajorD   C majorC  G+G
And rather starve than come?”


Verse 4:

   G+G    B minorBm    C majorC     G+G
’Twas the same love that spread the feast

   G+G    B minorBm   D MajorD
That sweetly drew us in;

   G+G   A minorAm  B minorBm     E minorEm
Else we had still refused to taste,

  G+G    D MajorD C majorC  G+G
And perished in our sin.

Verse 5:

 G+G   B minorBm    C majorC   G+G
Pity the nations, O our God,

  G+G     B minorBm    D MajorD
Constrain the earth to come;

   G+G   A minorAm   B minorBm  E minorEm
Send Thy victorious Word abroad,

  G+G     D MajorD  C majorC  G+G
And bring the strangers home.


Verse 6:

  G+G    B minorBm   C majorC    G+G
We long to see Thy churches full,

   G+G    B minorBm   D MajorD
That all the chosen race

  G+G    A minorAm    B minorBm    E minorEm
May with one voice and heart and soul,

   G+G   D MajorD C majorC  G+G
Sing Thy redeeming grace.
