Text: | O for a heart to praise my God |
Author (Chorus): | Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott (1836-97) |
Author (Verses): | Charles Wesley (1707-88) |
1 O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels the blood
So freely spilt for me.
Refrain:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
There is room in my heart for thee.
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.
