OLNEY HYMNS: 18. LOVEST THOU ME?, by WILLIAM COWPER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Hark, my soul! It is the lord Last Line: Oh for grace to love thee more! Subject(s): Jesus Christ | |||
Hark, my soul! it is the Lord, "Tis thy Saviour: hear His word! Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee: "Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me? "I delivered thee when bound, And, when bleeding, healed thy wound; Sought thee wandering, set thee right, Turned thy darkness into light. "Can a woman's tender care Cease toward the child she bare? Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee! "Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the heights above, Deeper than the depths beneath, Free and faithful, strong as death. "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?" Lord, it is my chief complaint, That my love is weak and faint; Yet I love Thee, and adore! Oh for grace to love Thee more! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
