Text: | Hark, my soul! it is the Lord |
Author: | W. Cowper |
Tune: | [Hark, my soul! it is the Lord] |
Composer: | Rev. J. B. Dykes, Mus. Doc. |
1 Hark, my soul! it is the Lord;
'Tis thy Saviour, hear His word;
Jesus speaks and speaks to thee,
Speak to each one, "Lov'st thou Me?
2 He delivered thee when bound,
And when bleeding, healed thy wound
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
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 He remember thee.
4 His is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.
5 We shall see His glory soon,
When the work of grace is done;
Partner of His throne shall be;
Hear Him asking, "Lov'st thou Me?"
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!
Amen.
