Tune: Engelberg
('All praise to thee, for thou, O King divine')
Matthew 7 v.7-11
*******
Ask, and it shall be given unto you
Seek, and you shall find, this sure promise true
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you
God will hear you anew
For every one that asks, they do receive
And they that seek, they do sure find, believe
This, and to them that knock it shall be so
Open doors they shall know
Or who of you if your child asks for bread
Will give them useless stone for it instead?
Or if asking a fish, will give serpent
And child's request dissent?
If you then, human, sinful, know how to
Give good gifs to your children, so to you
Will your heavenly Father give much more
To you, you be not poor
Help us, Lord, pray, to ask and seek and knock
Though you willing to hear us, do not block
Our prayers, but even your Spirit us give
In you we truly live
