By Charles Wesley

      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 Christ who 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.
