O for a heart to praise my God

Author: C. Wesley (1707-1788) Appears in 1,162 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 6 Made New in Christ Lyrics: 1 O 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. 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, my great redeemer's throne; where only Christ is heard to speak, where Jesus reigns alone. 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, believing, true, and clean, which neither life nor death can part from him who dwells within. 4 A heart in every thought renewed, and full of love divine; perfect and right and pure and good — your life revealed in mine. 5 Your nature, gracious Lord, impart — come quickly from above, write your new name upon my heart, your new best name of love! Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN

We rest our hope in you. 3 Teach us the lesson Jesus taught: To feel for those his blood has bought, That ev'ry deed and word and thought May work a work for you. 4 For all are kindred, far and wide, Since Jesus Christ for all has died; Grant us the will, and grace provide To love them all in you. 5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care, Each other's burdens help us share; May we, where help is needed, there Give help as though to you. 6 And may your Holy Spirit move All those who live to live in love, Till you receive in heav'n above Those who have lived to you.

Freely have your gifts been granted; Freely may your servants give. Yours the gold and yours the silver, Yours the wealth of land and sea; We but stewards of your bounty Held in solemn trust will be. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of love and Prince of Peace; Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease. By your patient years of toiling, By your silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Stem our selfish greed of gain. 4 Son of God, eternal Savior, Source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us Hallows all our human race: By your praying, by your willing That your people should be one, Grant, oh, grant our hope’s fruition: Here on earth your will be done.
