Oh, for a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,373 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 1:3 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 sought the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view of Jesus and his Word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 4 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from thy throne and worship only thee. 5 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.

How pure that soul must be, when, placed within thy searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne may bear the burning bliss; but that is surely theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere is dark, whose mind is dim, before th'ineffable appear, and on my naked spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for us to rise to that sublime abode, an off'ring and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit's energies, an Advocate with God. 5 These, these prepare us for the sight of holiness above; the heirs of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light, through the eternal Love!
