346. 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 always feels Thy blood
So freely shed for me!

2 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within.

3 A heart in every thought renewed,
And full of love divine;
Perfect and right and pure and good,
A copy, Lord, of Thine!

4 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above,
Write Thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new best name of Love!

Amen.
