Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #329 (1917) Topics: Jesus (See also Christ) Universal Kingdom Lyrics: 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord;
'Tis thy Saviour; hear His word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee
"Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?
2 "I 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 toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
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.
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 Lord, it is my chief complaint
That my love is cold and faint;
Yet I love Thee and adore,
O for grace to love Thee more!
