Oh for a heart to praise my God

279
					C.M.

1	Oh 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 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.
