Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #323 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free!
A heart that always feels Thy blood,
So freely spilt for me!
2 A heart resign'd, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer’s throne;
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.
3 Oh, for a lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him who dwells within.
4 A heart in ev'ry thought renew'd,
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: Change of Heart; Conversion; Heart renewal of; Heart Purity of; Holiness; New Heart; Purity; Regeneration; Sanctification Languages: English
