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.
