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. A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My great Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone. A humble, lowly, contrite, heart, Believing, true and clean, Which neither life nor death can part From Christ who 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 tender heart is still the same, And melts at human woe: Jesus, for thee distressed I am, I want Thy love to know. My heart, Thou know'st, can never rest Till Thou create my peace; Till of mine Eden repossest, From self, and sin, I cease. Fruit of Thy gracious lips, on me Bestow that peace unknown, The hidden manna, and the tree Of life, and the white stone. Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write Thy new name upon my heart, Thy new, best name of Love.
