10855. Ask And Ye Shall Receive

1 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 ye shall receive.

2 Jesus has suffered so meekly,
Sorrowing hearts to relieve;
Trust Him if you should be weakly,
Comfort and strength receive. [Refrain]

3 If there’s a want in your bosom,
Jesus will fill it, believe;
Do you need knowledge and wisdom?
Ask and ye shall receive. [Refrain]

4 Open the kingdom of Heaven,
Jesus all bounty will give;
Here is the pledge in His promise,
Ask and ye shall receive. [Refrain]
