Hymn 119

Studio

1OH, 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 ;

2A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My dear Redeemer's throne ;
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone ;

3A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean ;
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within.

4A heart in every thought renewed,
And filled with love divine ;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of thine !

5Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart ;
Come quickly from above ;
Write thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new, best name of love.
