Oh, for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free, A heart that always feels the blood So freely shed for me.

A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My great Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone.

A humble, holy, contrite heart, Believing, true and clean, Which neither life nor death can part From Him that dwells within.

A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine, Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, A copy, Lord, of Thine!

Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above Write Thy new name upon my heart, Thy new, best name of love.
