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.
