289. 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, lovest thou Me?
Say, poor sinner, lovest thou Me?

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

3 "Can a woman's tender care
Cease towards the child she bear?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee,
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,
Free and faithful, strong as death.

5 "Thou shalt see My glory soon,
When the work of grace is done;
Partner of My throne shall be,
Say, poor sinner, lovest thou Me?
Say, poor sinner, lovest thou Me?"

6 Lord, it is my chief complaint,
That my love is weak and faint;
Yet I love thee, and adore;
O for grace to love Thee more,
O for grace to love Thee more.
