I ask the Lord that I might grow _ [F] _ in _ faith _ _ _ _ and _ grace,
_ [Am] _ _ _
might more of his _ salvation _ know,
_ [G] and seek more _ _ earnestly _ _ his _ face.
[C] T _ _ 'was he who taught me thus to _ pray,
[F] _ _ _ _
and he had just as _ answered _ prayer,
[Am] _ _ _ _
but it has been in such a way
_ _ [F] as almost _ drove me [G] to _ _ _ despair.

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
I hoped that in some _ favored _ _ _ [F] hour, _ _
at once he'd answer [C] my [Fm] _
_ _ [Am] request, _ _ _
and by his love's _ constraining _ _ power,
_ [C] _ [F] subdue my sins and _ [G] give me _ _ _ _ [C] rest. _ _
Instead of this he made me _ feel
_ [F] _ _
the hidden _ evils of my _ _ [Am] heart, _ _
and let the angry _ powers of hell
_ [C] assault [F] my _ soul in [G] _ _ every _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ part. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Yea, more with his own hand he _ _ seized,
[F] _ _
intent to _ _ aggravate my _ _ _ [Am] _ woes, _
crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
_ [C] cast out my _ feelings, _ [G] laid me _ low.

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Lord, why is this high _ trembling _ _ cried?
[F] _ _ _ _
Wilt thou pursue thy worm to _ death?
[Am] _ _ _
T'is in this way the Lord _ replied,
[Em] _ _ [G] I answer _ prayers for _ grace and faith.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
These inward _ trials I _ _ employ,
_ [F] _ _
from self and pride to set me _ free,
[Am] _ _ _
and break thy schemes of earthly _ joy,
_ [C] that thou mayst seek thy [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ all in _ _ _ [F] me. [G] Amen.
