Ask and you shall receive

Lyrics: Barney Elliott Warren (Alt. R.Mc.)
Tune: [See the great promises, brother]



See the great promises, Christian,
Are they so hard to believe?
How can you doubt the dear Saviour?
Why don’t you ask and receive? 

Refrain:
Ask, my brother and sister,
For all you need believe;
Ask the bountiful Giver;
Ask and you shall receive. 

Jesus has suffered so meekly,
Sorrowing hearts to relieve;
Trust Him with all of your burdens,
Comfort and strength receive. 

If there’s a want or a problem
Father’s in charge, believe.
Do you need knowledge and wisdom?
Ask and you shall receive. 

Open the kingdom of heaven,
Jesus all bounty will give;
Here is the pledge of His promise,
Ask and you shall receive.

Tune: [See the great promises, brother]

See the great promises, brother,
Are they so hard to believe?
How can you doubt the dear Savior?
Why don’t you ask and receive? 

Refrain:
Ask, my brother and sister,
For all you need believe;
Ask the bountiful Giver;
Ask and you shall receive. 

Jesus has suffered so meekly,
Sorrowing hearts to relieve;
Trust Him with all of your burdens,
Comfort and strength receive. 

If there’s a want in your bosom,
Father will fill it, believe;
Do you need knowledge and wisdom?
Ask and you shall receive. 

Open the kingdom of heaven,
Jesus all bounty will give;
Here is the pledge of His promise,

Ask and you shall receive.
