O for a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #547 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, the calm of sins forgiven, a light to shine upon the road that leads at last to heaven. 2 O gentle Messenger, return-- return, O holy Dove; I hate the sins that made you mourn and grieved your heart of love. 3 Restore the happiness I knew when first I saw the Lord; refresh me with the radiant view of Jesus and his word! 4 From every idol I have known now set my spirit free; O make me worship you alone, and reign supreme in me. 5 So shall my walk be close with God, my wanderings be forgiven; so shall his light mark out the road that leads me at last to heaven.

Where is the soul's refreshing view Of Jesus and His word, Where is the soul's refreshing view Of Jesus and His word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still!
