138. O for a heart to praise my God
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 Christ 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.
