| Text: | O for a heart to praise my God |
| Author: | Charles Wesley |
| Tune: | BEATITUDO |
| Composer: | John B. Dykes |
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;
A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My dear Redeemer's throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone;
An humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within.
A heart in every thought renewed,
And full of love divine,
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of thine!
Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above;
Write thy new Name upon my heart,
Thy new, best name of Love.
Amen.
