Hymnal ‎#467

467. 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's sprinkled with 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 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.
