Sad or joyful, young or aged, Whatsoe'er thy lot may be, Tones today from heav'n are calling, "Lovest thou me? Lovest thou me?" 2 More than wealth or worldly station, More than pleasure, pow'r or pride, More than human love or friendship, More than these and all beside. Listen to the solemn query: 'T is thy Savior speaks to thee, Even now his voice is calling, "Lovest thou me? Lovest thou me?" 3 Lord, thou knowest that I love thee, Oh for grace to love thee more; Help the weakest of thy children Now to love thee and adore. Lord, thou knowest that I love thee, Quick and glad the answer be, When I hear thy sweet voice calling, "Lovest thou me? Lovest thou me?" Used With Tune: [Wand'rer o'er life's restless ocean]
