Text: | O for a heart to praise my God |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | WINCHESTER |
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.
