O for a heart to praise the Lord,

O for a heart to praise the Lord,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that's sprinkled with the blood
So freely shed for me.

A heart resigned, submissive, meek;
The 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.

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