Hark my soul! it is the Lord; <br />'Tis Thy Saviour, hear His word; <br />Jesus speaks and speaks to thee, <br />'Say poor sinner, lovst thou me? <br /> <br />'I deliver'd thee when bound, <br />And when bleeding, heal'd thy wound; <br />Sought thee wandering, set thee right, <br />Turn'd thy darkness into light. <br /> <br />'Can a woman's tender care <br />Cease towards the child she bare? <br />Yes, she may forgetful be, <br />Yet will I remember thee. <br /> <br />'Mine is an unchanging love, <br />Higher than the heights above, <br />Deeper than the depths beneath, <br />Free and faithful, strong as death. <br /> <br />'Thou shalt see my glory soon, <br />When the work of grace is done; <br />Partner of my throne shalt be; <br />Say, poor sinner, lovst thou me?' <br /> <br />Lord it is my chief complaint, <br />That my love is weak and faint; <br />Yet I love Thee and adore, - <br />Oh! for grace to love Thee more!<br /><br />William Cowper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/olney-hymn-18-lovest-thou-me/
