A Heart of Praise

1Oh, 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.

2A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My dear Redeemer's throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.

3A heart in ev'ry tho't renewed,
And full of love divine,
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy,
Lord, of Thine.

4Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above:
Write Thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new, best name of Love.
