Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #181 (1957) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels Thy 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;
A perfect heart, pure, right, 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. Scripture: Psalm 51:10 Tune Title: BROWN
O for a Heart to Praise My God
