Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #521a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God,
a heart from sin set free;
a heart that's sprinkled with 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 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,
Your life revealed in mine.
5 Your nature, gracious Lord, impart;
come quickly from above,
write Your new name upon my heart,
Your own great name of love. Languages: English Tune Title: ST ETHELDREDA
