O, for a heart to praise my God,

A heart from sin set free;

A heart that always feels how good,

Thou, Lord, hast been to me.

O for an humble, trustful heart,

Believing, true, and clean,

Which neither life nor death can part

From Him who dwells within;—

A heart in every thought renewed,

And full of love divine,

Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,

Conformed, O Lord, to Thine.

Thy spirit, gracious Lord, impart;

Come quickly from above;

O, write Thy name upon my heart!

Thy name, O God, is love.
