- 1Hark! my soul! it is the Lord;
- 'Tis thy Saviour, hear His word;
- Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
- Speaks to each one, "Lov'st thou Me?"
- 2He delivered thee when bound,
- And when wounded, healed thy wound;
- Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
- Turned thy darkness into light.
- 3Can a woman's tender care
- Cease towards the child she bare?
- Yes, she may forgetful be;
- Yet will He remember thee.
- 4His is an unchanging love,
- Higher than the heights above,
- Deeper than the depths beneath,
- Free and faithful, strong as death.
- 5We shall see His glory soon,
- When the work of grace is done,
- Partners of His throne shall be;
- Hear Him asking, "Lov'st thou Me?"
- 6Lord, 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!
