LyicsO 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.
An humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within.
A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My dear Redeemer's throne;
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.
Thy holy nature, Love, impart,
Come quickly from above;
Write thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new, best name of love.
