The Christian 's Prayer.

OH, for a heart to love my God! A heart from sin set free; A heart that always feels the blood, So freely shed for me.

A heart resign'd, 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 ev'ry thought renew'd, And fill'd with love divine; Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, A copy, Lord! of thine.
