Hymn 463
O For A Heart To Praise My God
ARLINGTON, C.M.
O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels Thy blood,
So freely spilt for me!
A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer's throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.
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 tho't renewed
And full of love divine;
Perfect and right and pure and good
A copy, Lord, of Thine.
