Oh, for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free, With conscience sprinkled by the blood So freely shed for me. |

|
A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My dear 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 death nor life can part From Him that dwells within. |

A heart in every thought renewed, And filled with 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. |

I was born and raised as an Anglican in South Africa. I have known and sang this Hynm in my native language all my life but recently I started reading it instead of singing it & suddenly it came alive. I was so overwhelmed to find out who wrote it. I know the story of the Wesley's. I thank God for the translator of to my Native language Rev A. G. Nyovane. I found the original English lyrics & my whole suddenly made sense. I cant wait to meet both the author & the translator in heaven...

Hi Rosita or anyone reading there is indeed another tune that can be used for this hymn. The tune is from a song called heavenward flight. If you look up the tag ogbb in imgur a picture I posted of the sheet music will appear. The ogbb Stand for Old German Baptist Brethren.

There is another stanza to this hymn:
My heart Thou knowest can never rest
Till Thou create its peace;
Till or my Eden repossest
From self and sin I cease.
