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,
  God's 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.
