A Special Hymn

This is my grandmother's favorite Sacred Harp hymn. It is number 328 in the 1991 edition of the Sacred Harp hymnal. Grandmother is having some serious health problems at the moment and is in the hospital. Please keep her in your prayers.

Praise God

Words by Charles Wesley, 1742
Music by S.M. Denson, 1911

Oh, for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free;
A heart that’s sprinkled with His blood,
So freely shed for me.

Oh, for a heart submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer’s throne;
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.

Oh, for an humble, 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.
