LyicsCome, poor soul, it is the Lord,
'Tis thy Saviour, hear his word:
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
"Say, poor sinner, lovest thou me?"
"I deliver all the bound:
I can heal the bleeding wound;
Find the wanderer, set him right,
Turn his darkness into light.
Can a woman's tender care,
Cease towards the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet have I remembered thee,
Mine is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath--
Free and faithful, strong as death."
