Hark! my soul, it is the Lord

1

Hark! my soul, it is the Lord;'T is the Saviour; hear his word;Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?

2

I delivered thee when bound,And when wounded, healed thy wound;Sought thee wandering, set thee right,Turned thy darkness into light.

3

Can a mother's tender careCease toward the child she bare?Yes, she may forgetful be,Yet will I remember thee.

4

Mine is an unchanging love,Higher than the hights above,Deeper than the depths beneath,Free and faithful, strong as death.

5

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?

6

Lord, it is my chief complaintThat my love's so weak and faint;Yet I love thee, and adore;O for grace to love thee more!
