Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Verse 1

Ask, and ye shall receive; On this my hope I build: I ask forgiveness, and believe My prayer shall be fulfill'd.

Verse 2

Seek, and expect to find: Wounded to death in soul, I seek the Saviour of mankind; His touch can make me whole.

Verse 3

Knock, and with patience wait, Faith shall free entrance win: I stand and knock at mercy's gate; Lord Jesus! let me in.

Verse 4

How should I ask in vain? Seek, and not find Thee, Lord? Knock, and yet no admittance gain? Is it not in Thy word?

Verse 5

Time, ruin, change, decay, The lines can never blot, Though heaven and earth shall pass away, Thy Word, O God! shall not.
