Oh, for a heart to praise my God,

Oh, for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free, With conscience sprinkled by the blood So freely shed for me.

A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My dear 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 death nor life can part From Him that dwells within.

A heart in every thought renewed, And filled with love 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.
