Religion
The word Thy blessed lips hath past
From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749) · Osborn ed., vol. 5 (1869)
Religion
The word Thy blessed lips hath past,
Ask, and ye shall the grace receive,
Seek, and be sure to find at last,
Knock, and I will admittance give;
Ye shall whate'er ye ask obtain,
Ye cannot seek My face in vain.
O Jesus, full of truth, and grace,
Thy love and faithfulness I plead,
Thine all-containing word embrace,
Thou know'st alas, I all things need,
But only one I now implore;
I ask, that I may sin no more.
