O For a Heart to Praise My God

Verse 1

O for a heart to praise my God, a heart from sin set free; a heart that's sprinkled with the blood so freely shed for me:

Verse 2

A heart resigned, submissive, meek, my great Redeemer's throne; where only Christ is heard to speak, where Jesus reigns alone:

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

A heart in every thought renewed, and full of love divine; perfect and right and pure and good — a copy, Lord, of thine.

Verse 5

Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart, come quickly from above; write thy new name upon my heart, thy new best name of Love.
