"Oh, for a heart to praise my God,
a heart from sin set free;
a heart always feels Thy blood
so freely shed for me:
A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
my great Redeemer's throne;
where only Christ is heard to speak,
where Jesus reigns alone:
A humble, lowly, contrite heart, believing, true, and clean, which neither life nor death can part
from Him that dwells within:
A heart in every thought renewed,
and full of love divine;
perfect and right and pure and good —
a copy, Lord, of Thine.
Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart, come quickly from above; write Thy new name upon my heart, Thy new best name of Love."
-Charles Wesley
