Give Me a New, a Perfect Heart

Give me a new

a per­fect heart

From doubt

and fear

and sor­row free;

The mind which was in Christ im­part

And let my spir­it cleave to Thee.

O take this heart of stone away!

Thy sway it doth not

can­not own;

In me no long­er let it stay;

O take away this heart of stone!

Cause me to walk in Christ my Way;

And I Thy sta­tutes shall ful­fill

In ev­ery point Thy law ob­ey

And per­fect­ly per­form Thy will.

Within me Thy good Spir­it place

Spirit of health

and love

and pow­er;

Plant in me Thy vic­tor­ious grace

And sin shall nev­er en­ter more.

O that I now

from sin re­leased

Thy Word may to the ut­most prove!

Enter in­to the pro­mised rest

The Ca­naan of Thy per­fect love.

Now let me gain per­fect­ion’s height;

Now let me in­to no­thing fall

Be less than no­thing in Thy sight

And feel that Christ is all in all.
