744--In dealings with the Lord as life

In dealings with the Lord as life

744

	1.	In dealings with the Lord as life
		We need a proper heart,
		That of His riches, in His grace,
		We fully may take part.
	2.	We need a heart in all things pure,
		With mind both sound and clear,
		To understand His mind and heart
		In trembling and in fear.
	3.	We need a fervent, loving heart,
		A heart on fire with love,
		With an emotion filled with zeal
		For Him, all else above.
	4.	We need a true, obedient heart,
		With a submissive will,
		A will made pliable, yet strong,
		God's purpose to fulfill.
	5.	We need a heart condemning not,
		In all things right with God;
		A heart which has a conscience purged
		And covered with the blood.
	6.	Lord, grant us such a heart as this,
		Forever fixed on Thee,
		That of Thyself we may partake
		And Thy true fulness be.
