Oh! for a closer walk with God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #416 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus, and his word? 3 What peaceful hour I once enjoy'd! How sweet their memory still! But they have left 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: 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.
