Ask a sign of the Lord, Be as high as Heaven; Requests are not ignored, If sincerely given. Put not God to the test, Never to tempt the Lord; Show a passionate zest, Being in one accord. O house of David hear, It is too small for you; To God you must revere, Being faithful and true. But will the Lord weary, He will give you a sign; At a time so dreary, From a moral decline. The virgin shall conceive, And she shall bear a son; That the world will receive, Salvation to be won. Immanuel His name, Eating curds and honey; Evil not to proclaim, Choose good over money. For before the boy knew, How to refuse evil; Choosing good to pursue, And reject the devil. The Lord will bring on you, The future of such days; With insight to construe, To walk in righteous ways.
