The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#587

587. Hark! my soul, it is the Lord

1 Hark! my soul, it is the Lord;
'Tis the 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 wounded, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.

3 Can a mother'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 hights 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's so weak and faint;
Yet I love thee, and adore;
O for grace to love thee more!
