O for a heart to praise my God,

A heart from sin set free,

A heart that always feels the 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 O for a lowly, contrite heart,

Confiding, true, and clean,

Which neither life nor death can part

From him that dwells within.

4 A heart in ev’ry thought renewed,

And full of love divine,

Perfect and right, and pure and good,

A copy, Lord, of thine.

5 Thy Spirit, gracious Lord, impart;

Direct me from above;

May thy dear name be near my heart,

That dear, best name is Love.
