If Solomon For Wisdom Prayed

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10725 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 If Solomon for wisdom prayed, The Lord before had made him wise; Else he another choice had made, And asked for what the worldlings prize. 2 Thus He invites his people still, He first instructs them how to choose; Then bids them ask whate’er they will, Assured that He will not refuse. 3 Our wishes would our ruin prove, Could we our wretched choice obtain; Before we feel the Savior’s love, Kindle our love to Him again. 4 But when our hearts perceive His worth, Desires, till then unknown, take place; Our spirits cleave no more to earth, But pant for holiness and grace. 5 And dost Thou say, "Ask what Thou wilt?" Lord, I would seize the golden hour; I pray to be released from guilt, And freed from sin and Satan’s power. 6 More of Thy presence, Lord, impart, More of Thine image let me bear; Erect thy throne within my heart, And reign without a rival there. 7 Give me to read my pardon sealed, And from Thy joy to draw my strength; To have Thy boundless love revealed In all its height, and breadth, and length. 8 Grant these requests, I ask no more But to Thy care the rest resign; Sick or in health, or rich or poor, All shall be well if Thou art mine.
