Persistent Love

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 266 hymnals Topics: Church Ordinances of; Ordinances; Church Ordinances of; Ordinances First Line: How sweet and awful is the place Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awful is the place, With Christ within the doors, While everlasting love displays The choicest of her stores. 2 When all our hearts, and all our songs, Join to admire the feast, Each of us cries with thankful tongue, "Lord, why was I a guest?" 3 "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?" 4 '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. 5 Pity the nations, O our God! Constrain the earth to come; Send thy victorious word abroad, And bring the strangers home. Used With Tune: DUNDEE

The feast, though not the love, is past and gone; the bread and wine remove, but thou art here, nearer than ever, still our shield and sun. 5 We have no help but thine, nor do we need another arm but thine to lean upon; it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; our strength is in thy might, thy might alone. 6 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness; mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood. Here is my robe, my refuge and my peace, thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God. 7 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great marriage feast of bliss and love.

Death's dread pow'r, its inward strife, Wars against Your Word of life; Fill me, Lord, with love's strong fervor That I cling to You forever! 2 Oh, what blessing to be near You And to listen to Your voice; Let me ever love and hear You, Let Your Word be now my choice! Many hardened sinners, Lord, Flee in terror at Your Word; But to all who feel sin's burden You give words of peace and pardon. 3 Lord, Your words are waters living When my thirsting spirit pleads. Lord, Your words are bread life-giving; On Your words my spirit feeds. Lord, Your words will be my light through death's cold and dreary night; Yes, they are my sword prevailing And my cup of joy unfailing! 4 As I pray, dear Jesus, hear me; Let Your words in me take root. May Your Spirit e'er be near me That I bear abundant fruit. May I daily sing Your praise, From my heart glad anthems raise, Till my highest praise is given In the endless joy of heaven.
