MHB 537  – Tis not to ask for gifts alone,

Methodist-Hymns-537

1: ’Tis not to ask for gifts alone,
I kneel in prayer before His throne ;
But, seeking fellowship divine,
I feel His love, and know it mine.
When I can pray.

2: ‘Tis prayer that makes my spirit strong
To do the right and fear the wrong,
To know the peace of sins forgiven,
To breathe the atmosphere of heaven;
To live, I pray.

3: I ought to pray, because my voice
Can make the Father’s heart
rejoice;
He loves His child, and He will meet
And hold communication sweet
with one who prays.

4: Therefore I seek my God and raise
My grateful thanks, my fervent praise;
While evil pasion and deceit
Will vanish when before His feet
I kneel to pray.

5: And if, great Father, when I pray,
Thy answer can be only Nay,
Still Thou wilt comfort me and
bless With vision of Thy righteousness:
Help me to pray.
