Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #484 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 great 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 ev'ry 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. Topics: Grace and Providence; Years A, B, and C Ash Wednesday Scripture: Psalm 51:17 Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKTON
