------------------------

Editor: 承 (in this sort of usage) and 吉言 occur in various expressions, and I think that providing a suitable (or revised) def for both 承 and 吉言 pretty much deals with 承你吉言 and other things like
- 借你吉言
- 借你的吉言
- 借你们吉言
- 借他吉言
- 承你吉言
- 承蒙你的吉言
- 托你吉言
- etc

I don't think there is an element of "I hope they come true" inherent in 承你吉言.

ex's
1. 借你吉言,我用一个寒假忘记
2. 哈哈借他吉言,希望今年能结婚啊
3. 承蒙你的吉言,我抽到大奖了,爱你啊
4. 承郎君吉言,还望郎君在使君面前,多帮贫道美言两句。
5. 话虽如此,吉言好讲,讳口难开。
