Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Together in Song #568 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God,
a heart from sin set free,
a heart that always feels your 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 Christ who dwells within:
4 a heart in every thought renewed,
and full of love divine,
perfect, and right, and pure, and good —
your life revealed in mine.
5 Your nature, gracious Lord, impart:
come quickly from above;
write your new name upon my heart,
your new best name of love. Topics: Assurance; God's Love to Us; Holiness; Personal Response to Jesus; Renewal Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-17 Languages: English Tune Title: LLOYD
