Lyrics
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 great 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 that 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 tender heart is still the same,
And melts at human woe:
Jesus, for thee distressed I am,
I want Thy love to know.
6. My heart, Thou know’st,
can never rest
Till Thou create my peace;
Till of mine Eden repossest,
From self, and sin, I cease.
7. Fruit of Thy gracious lips, on me
Bestow that peace unknown,
The hidden manna, and the tree
Of life, and the white stone.
8. Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above,
Write Thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new, best name of love.

A heart from sin set free;
Sprinkled with that atoning blood,
So freely shed for me.

A heart from sin set free;
A heart that’s sprinkled with His blood,
So freely shed for me.

A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels Thy blood
So freely split for me.
13. O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels Thy blood
Thou, Lord, hast been to me.
14. Oh, for a heart submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer’s throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.
15. Oh, for an humble, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within.
16. O for a humble trustful heart,
Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within:
17. A heart in ev’ry thought renewed,
And filled with love divine;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of Thine.
18. A heart in every thought renewed,
And full of love divine;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
Conformed, O Lord, of Thine.
19. Thy spirit, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above,
O write Thy name upon my heart,
Thy name, O God, is love.
