Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the use of Christians ‎#47

47. Lovest Thou Me?

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 deliver'd thee when bound,
And when bleeding, heal'd thy wound;
Sought thee wand'ring, 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 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 weak and faint;
Yet I love thee and adore,
Oh for grace to love thee more!
