O for a Heart to Praise My God!
BEATITUDO C.M.
CONSECRATION
O for a heart to praise my God!
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels Thy 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 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.
