C.M. [988]Beatitudo: John Bacchus Dykes, 1875 Charles Wesley, 1742; Alt. 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; A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My dear Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone; An 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. Amen. |
