Hark, my soul! it is the LORD;

The words

1. 1

   Stanza 1. Hark, my soul! it is the LORD;’Tis thy Savior, hear his word;JESUS speaks, and speaks to thee;“Say, poor sinner, lov’st thou me?

2. 2

   Stanza 2. I delivered thee when bound,And, when wounded, healed thy wound;Sought thee wand’ring, set thee right,Turned thy darkness into light.”

3. 3

   Stanza 3. Can a woman’s tender careCease, towards the child she bare?Yes, she may forgetful be,Yet will I remember thee.

4. 4

   Stanza 4. “Mine is an unchanging love;Higher than the heights above;Deeper than the depths beneath,Free and faithful, strong as death.

5. 5

   Stanza 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. 6

   Stanza 6. 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!
