| Text: | O for a Closer Walk With God |
| Author: | William Cowper |
| Tune: | [O for a closer walk with God] |
| Composer: | Dr. Thomas Hastings |
1 O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heav'nly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee,
And worship only Thee.
3 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.
That leads me to the Lamb.
