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

T'was 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

I hoped that, in some favoured hour,
At once He'd answer my request,
And by His love's constraining power
Subdue my sins, and give me rest

Instead of this, He made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart,
And let the angry powers of hell
Assault my soul in every part

Yea, more, with His own Hand He seemed
Intent to aggravate my woe,
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed
Blasted my gourds, and laid me low

Lord, why is this? I trembling cried;
Wilt thou pursue this worm to death?
This is the way, the Lord replied
I answer prayer for grace and faith

These inward trials I now employ
From self and pride to set thee free,
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
That thou may'st seek thy all in me

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

~ Psalm 119:75 ~
