1 | In dealings with the Lord as life |
| | We need a proper heart, |
| That of His riches, in His grace, |
| | We fully may take part. |
2 | We need a heart in all things pure, |
| | With mind both sound and clear, |
| To understand His mind and heart |
| | In trembling and in fear. |
3 | We need a fervent, loving heart, |
| | A heart on fire with love, |
| With an emotion filled with zeal |
| | For Him, all else above. |
4 | We need a true, obedient heart, |
| | With a submissive will, |
| A will made pliable, yet strong, |
| | Gods purpose to fulfill. |
5 | We need a heart condemning not, |
| | In all things right with God; |
| A heart which has a conscience purged |
| | And covered with the blood. |
6 | Lord, grant us such a heart as this, |
| | Forever fixed on Thee, |
| That of Thyself we may partake |
| | And Thy true fulness be. |
