The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns ‎#CCXV

CCXV. O for an heart to love my God!

1 O for an Heart to love my God!
An heart from Sin set free;
An heart that's sprinkled with the Blood,
So freely shed for me!

2 An heart resign'd, submissive, meek,
My dear 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 An heart in ev'ry Thought renew'd,
And fill'd of Love Divine,
Perfect and Right, and pure, and good,
A Copy, Lord! of thine.

5 Thy tender Heart is still the same,
And melts at Human Woe;
Send down thy Grace, O blessed Lamb!
That I thy Love may know.

6 Thy holy Nature Lord! impart
Come quickly from above,
Write thy new Name upon my Heart,
Thy new best Name of Love.
