Oh, for a Clean Heart

Oh

for a heart of de­vo­tion

A spir­it that wor­ships aright

A soul full of ear­nest be­liev­ing

That walks with the Lord in the light;

And oh

for a spir­it like Je­sus

Kind

gen­tle

af­fect­ion­ate

true;

A spir­it of sweet re­sig­na­tion

A heart clean with­in

and made new.

Oh

for a clean heart

Je­sus

I pray Thee

Oh

for a clean heart

A heart from all sin­ning set free.

Oh

for a deep sense of du­ty—

Just do­ing His bid­ding each day

By tak­ing the task He as­signs me

And fol­low­ing Him in the way;

Contented to serve

with­out ask­ing

Him just what the har­vest will be

But wait­ing till He shall re­veal it

Content then the bless­ing to see.

Oh

for a sense of de­pen­dence

Not trust­ing to what I can do;

A lean­ing by faith on His pro­mise

A zeal that will car­ry me thro’;

A heart full of love for the Mas­ter

And those who are yet far from home;

A mind full of sanc­ti­fied pur­pose

A heart that is ful­ly His own.
