Charles Wesley, 1742.

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 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 mine Eden repossest, from self, and 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.
