453. 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 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 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.

Amen.
