I ask'd the Lord that I might grow

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #445 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymns, Selected and Original Lyrics: 1 I ask'd the Lord that I might grow In faith, and love, and every grace, Might more of his salvation know, And seek, more earnestly, his face. 2 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray, And he, I trust, has answer'd prayer; But it has been in such a way As almost drove me to despair. 3 I hop'd that in some favor'd hour At once he'd answer my request, And by his love's constraining power Subdue my sins and give me rest. 4 Instead of this he made me feel The hidden evils of my heart, And let the angry powers of hell Assault my soul in every part. 5 Yea, more, with his own hand he seem'd Intent to aggravate my wo, Cross'd all the fair designs I schem'd, Blasted my gourds, and laid me low. 6 "Lord, why is this?" I trembling cry'd; "Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death?" "'Tis in this way," the Lord replied, "I answer prayer for grace and faith! 7 "These inward trials I employ From self and pride to set thee free: And break thy schemes of earthly joy, That thou may'st seek thy all in me."
