Text: | Walking with God |
Author: | Cowper |
1 O 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 knew,
When 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, O holy dove return,
Sweet Messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
