O for a heart to praise my God

by Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 323.

Verse 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.

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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