A voice salutes my ear!
O! how the accents move me!
I hear my Savior say,
“My daughter! dost thou love me?”
What answer shall I give
To Him who died to save me?
Who rescued me from death,
And all my sins forgave me?
O! hear me, dearest Lord!
In glory throned above me,
And help me thus to say,
“Thou knowest that I love thee!”
