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 wand'rer, set him right,
Turn his darkness into light.
Can a woman's tender care,
Cease towards the child she bore?
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.
Turn, poor sinner, turn to me,
To my word for refuge flee;
Thou shalt see my glory soon,
When the work of grace is done."
