Oh, for a heart to praise my God

Amen , we can also enjoy this hymn to the tune of hymn #12

Amen 🙏

Oh write thy new name upon my heart. They new best name of love.

I really enjoy this hymn. It has enlightened me.

I remember singing this song way back in the early sixties doing Secondary Education in Mutare Manicaland Province

I really enjoy this hymn. It is so uplifting to my heart. Thank you so much!

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.

"A heart... where only Christ is heard to speak, where Jesus reigns alone."

Father conform us to the image of Your Son. Help us to so abide in Him that we walk even as Jesus walked.
