[Oh! for a closer walk with God]
1.
Oh! for a closer walk with God,A calm and heavenly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2.
Where is the blessedness I knewWhen first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word?
3.
What peaceful hours I then enjoy'd?How sweet their memory still!
But now I find an aching void
The world can never fill.
4.
Return, oh holy Dove! return,Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
5.
The dearest idol I have known,Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
6.
So shall my walk be close with God,Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
