Sheet music
- 1O for a heart to praise my God,A heart from sin set free!A heart that always feels the bloodSo 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.
- 2O for a lowly, contrite heart,Confiding, true and clean,Which neither life nor death can partFrom Him that dwells within.Thy Spirit, gracious Lord, impart,Direct me from above;May Thy dear name be near my heart;That dear, best name is Love.
