22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

     23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

     28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.(KJV)

1. Come, my soul, thy suit prepare, 
Jesus loves to answer prayer; 
He Himself has bid thee pray, 
Therefore will not say thee nay. 

2. Thou art coming to a King, 
Large petitions with thee bring; 
For His grace and pow’r are such 
None can ever ask too much. 

3. With my burden I begin: 
Lord, remove this load of sin; 
Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, 
Set my conscience free from guilt. 

4. Lord, I come to Thee for rest, 
Take possession of my breast; 
There Thy blood-bought right maintain 
And without a rival reign. 

5. As the image in the glass 
Answers the beholder’s face, 
Thus unto my heart appear; 
Print Thine own resemblance there. 

6. While I am a pilgrim here, 
Let Thy love my spirit cheer; 
As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, 
Lead me to my journey’s end. 

7. Show me what I have to do; 
Every hour my strength renew. 
Let me live a life of faith; 
Let me die Thy people’s death.
