					10.10.8.6.10.

1	I want, dear Lord, a heart that’s true and clean;
	A sunlit heart, with not a cloud between;
	A heart like Thine, a heart divine, 
	A heart as white as snow;
	On me, dear Lord, a heart like this bestow.

2	I want, dear Lord, a love that feels for all;
	A deep, strong love that answers every call;
	A love like Thine, a love divine,
	A love for high and low;
	On me, dear Lord, a love like this bestow.

3	I want, dear Lord, a soul on fire for Thee;
	A soul baptised with heavenly energy,
	A willing mind, a ready hand,
	To do whate’er I know,
	To spread Thy light wherever I may go.

4	I want, dear Lord, a faith that looks to Thee
	To cheer the way when naught but clouds I see;
	A faith sublime, a faith divine,
	A faith that will not fail
	To trust in Thee and over sin prevail.

5	I want, dear Lord, a hope steadfast and sure,
	A hope that holds to things that will endure;
	A hope in hea’en, a hope in Thee, 
	A hope that’s bright and clear,
	Dispelling doubt and conquering every fear.
