1 

Oh, for a heart to praise my God,

   A heart from sin set free,

With conscience sprinkled by the 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 death nor life can part

   From Him that dwells within.

 4 

A heart in every thought renewed,

   And filled with 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.
