1 Oh, for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart made clean by thy rich blood
So freely shed for me!
2 A heart resign'd, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer's throne,--
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone!
3 An 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 renew'd,
And full of love divine;
Perfect and right and pure and good,
A copy, Lord, of thine!
