Hast thou asked the Lord to hear?
Jesus says He will.
Bowing, listening, ever near,
He beholds thy every tear,
Waits to still each rising fear,
Jesus says He will.
Hast thou asked the Lord to bless?
Jesus says He will.
Humbly to His footstool press,
There thy sin and guilt confess,
He will pity thy distress,
Jesus says He will.
Hast thou asked the Lord to keep?
Jesus says He will.
Through the valley, dark and deep,
When all other watchers sleep,
Still the Shepherd guards His sheep,
Jesus says He will.
Hast thou asked the Lord to guide?
Jesus says He will.
Where the clouds the future hide,
Up the mountain path untried,
He will every need provide,
Jesus says He will.
He will take us by and by,
Jesus says He will.
Sweetly let the spirit fly,
Far above yon sunny sky,
Where no tear-drops dim the eye,
Jesus says He will.
