Oh, for a heart to praise my God,

|
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | A heart resigned, submissive, meek, |
| | My dear 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 death nor life can part |
| | >From Him that dwells within. |
| 4. | A heart in every thought renewed, |
| | And filled with 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. |
