387. Hark, my soul, it is the Lord

1 Hark, 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?"

2 "I deliver'd thee, when bound,
And, when bleeding, heal'd thy wound,
Sought thee wand'ring, set thee right,
Turn'd thy darkness into light.

3 "Can a woman's tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.

4 "Mine is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights 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 complaint,
That my love is week and faint;
Yet I love thee, and adore;
O for grace to love thee more!
