O for a Heart to Praise My God!

Lyrics by

Music by
Carl Maria von Weber (1820)
Tune
THEODORE · 8.7.8.7
Scripture
Romans 12:1
Verse 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.
Verse 2
A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My dear Redeamer's throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
So freely shed for me.
Verse 3
A heart in every throught renewed,
And full of love divine,
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord of Thine.
Verse 4
Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above;
Write Thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new, best name of Love.

Wesley's prayer for a sanctified heart, set to a classical melody.
