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!

A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer’s throne:
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone;

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.
Amen.

(Charles Wesley)
