O for a heart to praise my God

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,194 hymnals Topics: Eighth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 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 heart resigned, submissive, meek, My great Redeemer's throne; Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone. 3 An 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.

How beauteous are their feet

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Eighth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill!
