Oh, for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free;
A heart that’s sprinkled with his blood, So freely shed for me,
Oh, for a heart submissive, meek;
Oh, for a heart submissive, meek, My great Redeemer’s throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone.
Oh, for an humble, 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.
