O for a Heart to Praise My God

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

O for a heart to praise my God,

A heart from sin set free;

A heart that always feels Thy blood

So freely shed for me;



A heart resigned, submissive, meek,

My great Redeemer's throne,

Where only Christ is heard to speak,

Where Jesus reigns alone;



A humble, lowly, contrite heart,

believing, true, and clean,

Which neither life nor death can part

From Him that dwells within;



A heart in every thought renewed

And full of live divine,

Perfect and right and pure and good:

A copy, Lord, of Thine.



Thy nature, gracious Lord impart;

Come quickly from above;

Write Thy new name upon my heart,

Thy new best Name of love.
