I want a heart to pray,
To pray and never cease;
Never to murmur at thy stay,
Or wish my sufferings less.
This blessing above all,
Always to pray, I want;
Out of the deep on thee to call,
And never, never faint.
I want a true regard,
A single steady aim,
Unmoved by threatening or reward—
To thee, and thy great name.
A jealous, just concern,
For thine immortal praise;
A pure desire, that all may learn
And glorify thy grace.
I want with all my heart
Thy pleasure to fulfill;
To know myself, and what thou art,
And what thy perfect will.
I want, I know not what;
I want my wants to see:
I want, alas! what want I not,
When thou art not in me?
