Lyics

Oh for a heart to praise my God,

A heart from sin set free,

A heart that always feels the blood

So freely shed for me,

So freely shed for me!



A heart resign'd, submissive, meek,

My great Redeemer's throne,

Where only Christ is heard to speak,

Where Jesus reigns alone,

Where Jesus reigns alone.



Oh for a lowly, contrite heart,

Confiding, true, and clean,

Which neither life nor death can part

From him that dwells within,

From him that dwells within.



A heart in ev'ry thought renew'd, 

And full of love divine,

Perfect and right, and pure and good,

A copy, Lord, of thine,

A copy, Lord, of thine.



Thy presence, gracious Lord, impart,

Direct me from above;

May thy dear name be near my heart!

That dearest name is Love,

That dearest name is Love.
