I Asked the Lord That I Might Grow

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #427 (2023) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I asked the Lord that I might grow in faith and love and every grace; might more of His salvation know, and seek more earnestly His face. 2 'Twas He who taught me thus to pray, and He, I trust, has answered prayer, but it has been in such a way as almost drove me to despair. 3 I hoped that in some favored hour at once He's answer my request, and by His love's constraining pow'r subdue my sins and give me rest. 4 Instead of this He made me feel the hidden evils of my heart, and let the angry pow'rs of hell assault my soul in every part. 5 Yea more, with His own hand He seemed intent to aggravate me woe, crossed all the fair designs I schemed, humbled my heart, and laid me low. 6 "Lord, why is this?" I trembling cried, "Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death?" "'Tis in this way," the Lord replied, "I answer prayer for grace and faith. 7 "These inward trials I employ from self and pride to set thee free, and break thy schemes of earthly joy that thou may'st find Thy all in Me."
