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,
    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.
 
Charles Wesley, 1707-88
