[Verse 1]
GI asked the LorG/Cd that I might Ggrow 
In faith and Emlove Cand ev’ry Dgrace, 
Might more of GHis salvation Emknow, C  
And seek more DsusearneDstly His Gface. 
[Verse 2]
G‘Twas He who tauG/Cght me thus to Gpray, 
And He, I EmtrusCt, has answered Dprayer,
But it has Gbeen in such a Emway C  
As almost Dsusdrove Dme to deGspair. 
[Verse 3]
GI hoped that iG/Cn some favored Ghour 
At once He’d EmanswCer my reDquest 
And, by His Glove’s constraining Empow’rC, 
Subdue my Dsussins Dand give me Grest. 
[Verse 4]
GInstead of thiG/Cs, He made me Gfeel 
The hidden EmevilCs of my Dheart 
And let the Gangry pow’rs of Emhell C  
Assault my Dsussoul Din ev’ry Gpart. 
[Verse 5]
GYea, more with G/CHis own hand He Gseemed 
Intent to EmaggrCavate my Dwoe, 
Crossed all the Gfair designs I EmschemCed, 
Humbled my Dsusheart Dand laid me Glow.
[Verse 6]
 G“Lord, why is G/Cthis,” I trembling Gcried; 
“Wilt Thou purEmsue CThy worm to Ddeath?” 
“’Tis in this Gway,” the Lord reEmpliedC, 
“I answer DsusprayeDr for grace and Gfaith.” 
[Verse 7]
G“These inward G/Ctrials I emGploy 
From self and EmpridCe to set thee Dfree 
And break thy Gschemes of earthly Emjoy C  
That thou may’st Dsusfind Dthy all in GMe.”
