Charles Wesley
O For a Heart to Praise My God
Words: Charles Wesley, 1742 (Ps. 51:10) Music: Thomas Haweis, 1792
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 nature, gracious Lord, impart; come quickly from above; write thy new name upon my heart, thy new, best name of Love.
