Text: | Oh, for a heart to praise my God |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | WOODSIDE |
Composer: | Luther O. Emerson |
1 Oh, for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free!
A heart that always feels Thy blood
So freely spilt 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 full of 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.
Amen.
