Hymn/Song Information

O for a heart to love my God A heart from sin set




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.


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


A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within:


A heart in every thought renewed,
And full of love divine;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of Thine.


Thy tender heart is still the same,
And melts at human woe:
Jesus, for thee distressed I am,
I want Thy love to know.


My heart, Thou knowest, can never rest
Till Thou create my peace;
Till of mine Eden repossessed,
From self, and sin, I cease.


Fruit of Thy gracious lips, on me
Bestow that peace unknown,
The hidden manna, and the tree
Of life, and the white stone.


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


---Alternative verses---


Oh, for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free;
Sprinkled with that atoning blood,
So freely shed for me.


Oh, for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free;
A heart that’s sprinkled with His blood,
So freely shed for me.


O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels Thy blood
So freely split for me.


O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels Thy blood
Thou, Lord, hast been to me.


O for a heart to love my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels the blood
So freely shed for me.


Oh, for a heart submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer’s throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.


A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer’s throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone:


Oh, for an humble, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within.


O for a humble trustful heart,
Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within:


O for a lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within:


A heart in ev’ry thought renewed,
And filled with love divine;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of Thine.


A heart in every thought renewed,
And full of love divine;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
Conformed, O Lord, of Thine.


Thy spirit, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above,
O write Thy name upon my heart,
Thy name, O God, is love.
