O for a heart to praise my God
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,162 hymnals Topics: Eighth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 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 resigned, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer's throne;
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.
3 An humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within.
4 A heart in every thought renewed,
And full of love divine;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of Thine!
5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
Come quickly from above;
Write Thy new Name upon my heart,
Thy new, best Name of Love. Used With Tune: WILTSHIRE

O could I find from day to day

A nearness to my God!
Then should my hours glide sweet away,
And lean upon His Word.
2 Lord, I desire with Thee to live
Anew from day to day;
In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.
3 O Jesus, come and rule my heart,
And make me wholly Thine,
That I may never more depart,
Nor grieve Thy love divine.
4 Thus till my last expiring breath
Thy goodness I'll adore;
And when my flesh dissolves in death,
My soul shall love Thee more.

He reigns and triumphs here."

But died without the sight!

And deserts learn the joy.

Their Savior and their God. Used With Tune: OLMUTZ

Where pleasure in perfection is. Used With Tune: EMMANEUL
