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.
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.
Give me to read my pardon sealed, And from Thy joy to draw my strength; To have Thy boundless love revealed In all its height, and breadth, and length.
Grant these requests—I ask no more, But to Thy care the rest resign; Living or dying, rich or poor, All shall be well if Thou art mine. Amen.
