“Create in me a clean heart.” Ps. 51. 10; Prov. 20. 9

1 O for a heart to praise the Lord,
  A heart from sin set free,
  A heart that’s sprinkled with the blood
  So freely shed for me.

2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek;
  The great Redeemer’s throne;
  Where only Christ is heard to speak,
  Where Jesus reigns alone.

3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
  Believing, true, and clean,
  Which neither life nor death can part
  From him that dwells within.

4 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
  Come quickly from above;
  Write thy new name upon my heart,
  Thy new, best name of Love.
