O FOR A HEART TO PRAISE MY GOD

[1]
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:

[2]
a heart resigned, submissive, meek,
my great Redeemer's throne,
where only Christ is heard to speak,
where Jesus reigns alone:

[3]
a humble, lowly, contrite heart,
believing, true, and clean,
which neither life nor death can part
from him that dwells within:

[4]
a heart in every thought renewed,
and full of love divine,
perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
a copy, Lord, of thine.

[5]
Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart:
come quickly from above,
write thy new name upon my heart,
thy new, best name of love.
