H
ARK, my soul! it is the Lord;
'Tis thy Saviour, hear his word; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee, 'Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?
'I delivered thee when bound. And, when wounded, healed thy wound; Sought thee wandering, set thee right, Turned thy darkness into light.
'Can a woman's tender care Cease toward the child she bare? Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee.
'Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the heights above ; Deeper than the depths beneath. Free and faithful, strong as death.
'Thou shalt see my glory soon. When the work of grace is done; Partner of my throne shalt be; Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?'
Lord, it is my chief complaint That my love is weak and faint; Yet I love thee, and adore;
Oh for grace to love thee more!
