1 Kings 3:5: God said, Ask what I shall give thee

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

THOUbidd'st me ask whate'er I will.
Thou wilt the thing required bestow:
I ask Thy hallowing Spirit's seal,
I ask. Thy precious Self to know,
I ask an humble, perfect heart.
With all Thou hast, and all Thou art.
