|  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. |
