Ask What Thou Wilt

Verse 1

And dost thou say, "Ask what thou wilt?" Lord, I would seize the golden hour: I pray to be released from guilt, And freed from sin and Satan’s power.

Verse 2

More of thy presence, Lord, impart; More of thine image let me bear: Erect thy throne within my heart, And reign without a rival there.

Verse 3

Give me to read my pardon sealed, And from thy joy to draw my strength: Oh! be thy boundless love revealed In all its height and breadth and length.

Verse 4

Grant these requests--I ask no more, But to thy care the rest resign: Sick, or in health, or rich, or poor, All shall be well, if thou art mine.
