“O for a heart to praise my God, a heart from sin set free.”


 
A hymn written by Charles Wesley

(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 dear 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 Who 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.
