O FOR a heart to praise my God,

By A Collection of Hymns


      C.M. Psalm li. 10.
      1 O FOR a heart to praise my God,
      A heart from sin set free!
      A heart that always feels thy blood
      So freely spilt 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 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 renewed,
      And full of love divine;
      Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
      A copy, Lord, of thine!

      5 Thy tender heart is still the same,
      And melts at human woe:
      Jesus, for thee distressed I am,
      I want thy love to know.

      6 My heart, thou know'st, can never rest,
      Till thou create my peace;
      Till, of my Eden re-possessed,
      From every sin I cease.

      7 Fruit of thy gracious lips, on me
      Bestow that peace unknown,
      The hidden manna, and the tree
      Of life, and the white stone.

      8 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart!
      Come quickly from above,
      Write thy new name upon my heart,
      Thy new, best name of love.
