"ASK ON."
(1 Kings ii. 20; John xiv. 13.)
I hear "a voice from heaven"—
I hear my Sovereign say—
"Ask on" (He speaks to me);
"I will not say thee nay."
I would not doubt His word,
For truth in Him abides;
I would not doubt His power;
In Him the Godhead hides.
And since I know He gave
Himself, Himself, to move
Jehovah's curse from me,
I would not doubt His love.
And so I'll breathe my wish
To Christ, my King, to-day;
And rest me on His word—
"I will not say thee nay."
Isa.
