Tune: St Bees
('Hark, my soul, it is the Lord')
Jeremiah 1 v.1-4
*******
Word of the Lord came to, see
Jeremiah, prophet he
Said, before I did you make
Set you apart for my sake
Even before you were born
I knew you before that morn
When you were born on this earth
To share of my message-wroth
Jeremiah, he replied
I a child, it not denied
O Lord God, I cannot speak
E'en if my state humble, meek
The Lord said, Say not tath you
Are a child, for I shall too
Empower you for to go
Speak my words, so people know
Fear not, for my words I give
Unto you, and you shall live
I shall save you and shall keep
You within my fold, my sheep
I have set you o'er nations
Men and women, all stations
To root out, pull down, destroy
Rescue you from evil ploys
And to throw down, and to build
Speaking of all I have willed
And to plant, good things shall grow
My prospering blessings flow
