Text:Hark! my soul it is the Lord
Tune:ATTENTION

4. Hark! my soul it is the Lord

1. Hark, my soul! it is the Lord;
’Tis thy Savior, hear his word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee;
Say, poor sinner, lovest thou me?

2. I delivered thee when bound,
And, when wounded, 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 bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.

4. Mine is a redeeming 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, 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!
