Lyrics

Verse 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.

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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