|
<p>I asked the Lord that I might grow<br>
|
|
In faith, and love, and every grace;<br>
|
|
Might more of His salvation know,<br>
|
|
And seek, more earnestly, His face.</p>
|
|
<p>’Twas He who taught me thus to pray,<br>
|
|
And He, I trust, has answered prayer!<br>
|
|
But it has been in such a way,<br>
|
|
As almost drove me to despair.</p>
|
|
<p>I hoped that in some favored hour,<br>
|
|
At once He’d answer my request;<br>
|
|
And by His love’s constraining pow’r,<br>
|
|
Subdue my sins, and give me rest.</p>
|
|
<p>Instead of this, He made me feel<br>
|
|
The hidden evils of my heart;<br>
|
|
And let the angry pow’rs of hell<br>
|
|
Assault my soul in every part.</p>
|
|
<p>Yea more, with His own hand He seemed<br>
|
|
Intent to aggravate my woe;<br>
|
|
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,<br>
|
|
Blasted my gourds, and laid me low.</p>
|
|
<p>Lord, why is this, I trembling cried,<br>
|
|
Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death?<br>
|
|
“’Tis in this way, the Lord replied,<br>
|
|
I answer prayer for grace and faith.</p>
|
|
<p>These inward trials I employ,<br>
|
|
From self, and pride, to set thee free;<br>
|
|
And break thy schemes of earthly joy,<br>
|
|
That thou may’st find thy all in Me.”</p>
