✝ Verse 1:
G+G        C/GC/G     G+G
I asked the Lord that I might grow
  D MajorD     E minorEm  A minorAm    D MajorD
In faith and love and ev’ry grace
D MajorD       B minorBm Gmaj7Gmaj7   E minor 7Em7 C majorC
Might more of His salvation know
C majorC       DsusDsus D MajorD    G+G
And seek more earnestly His face.



✝ Verse 2:
G+G         C/GC/G     G+G
‘Twas He who taught me thus to pray
D MajorD   E minorEm   A minorAm      D MajorD
And He
I trust, has answered prayer
D MajorD     B minorBm Gmaj7Gmaj7    E minor 7Em7 C majorC
But it has been in such a way
C majorC     DsusDsus D MajorD     G+G
As almost drove me to despair.

✝ Verse 3:
G+G        C/GC/G     G+G
I hoped that in some favored hour
  D MajorD     E minorEm A minorAm    D MajorD
At once He’d an-swer my request
D MajorD      B minorBm Gmaj7Gmaj7      E minor 7Em7 C majorC
And, by His love’s constraining pow’r
C majorC     DsusDsus D MajorD      G+G
Subdue my sins and give me rest.

✝ Verse 4:
G+G     C/GC/G       G+G
Instead of this
He made me feel
  D MajorD   E minorEm A minorAm     D MajorD
The hidden e - vils of my heart
D MajorD      B minorBm Gmaj7Gmaj7    E minor 7Em7 C majorC
And let the angry pow’rs of hell
C majorC     DsusDsus D MajorD    G+G
Assault my soul in ev’ry part.

✝ Verse 5:
G+G       C/GC/G       G+G
Yea, more with His own hand He seemed
 D MajorD    E minorEm A minorAm    D MajorD
Intent to ag-gravate my woe
D MajorD        B minorBm Gmaj7Gmaj7    E minor 7Em7 C majorC
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed
C majorC     DsusDsus D MajorD      G+G
Humbled my heart and laid me low.

✝ Verse 6:
G+G       C/GC/G        G+G
“Lord, why is this,” I trembling cried;

“Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death ”
D MajorD      B minorBm Gmaj7Gmaj7     E minor 7Em7 C majorC

From self and pride to set thee free
D MajorD       B minorBm Gmaj7Gmaj7     E minor 7Em7 C majorC
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
 C majorC        DsusDsus D MajorD     G+G
That thou may’st find thy all in Me
