O FOR a heart to praise my God,

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 Him that 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 nature, gracious Lord, impart, Come quickly from above; Write Thy new name upon my heart, Thy new best name of Love.
