Text: | O for a heart to praise my God! |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | CADDO |
Composer: | William B. Bradbury |
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 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.
