O for a Heart to Praise My God

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.  

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

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