O for a closer walk with God

Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #442 (1986) Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 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 once enjoyed; How sweet their memory till! 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.

We have not known thee as we ought

Author: Thomas Benson Pollock (1836-96) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #466 (1986) Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 We have not known thee as we ought, Nor learned thy wisdom, grace and power; The things of earth have filled our thought, And trifles of the passing hour. Lord, give us light thy truth to see, And make us wise in knowing thee. 2 We have not feared thee as we ought, Nor bowed beneath thine aweful eye, Nor guarded deed and word and thought, Remembering that God was nigh. Lord, give us faith to know thee near, And gram the grace of holy fear. 3 We have not loved thee as we ought, Nor cared that we are loved by thee; Thy presence we have coldly sought, And feebly longed thy face to see. Lord, give a pure and loving heart To feel and know the love thou art. 4 We have not served thee as we ought; Alas, the duties left undone, The work with little fervour wrought, The battles lost or scarcely won! Lord, give the zeal, and give the might, For thee to toil, for thee to fight. 5 When shall we know thee as we ought, And fear and love and serve aright? When shall we, out of trial brought, Be perfect in the land of light? Lord, may we day by day prepare To see thy face and serve thee there. Languages: English

To thee my Life is given, ‘Tis for the lost world’s sake. To serve thee I am ready, Though friends and foes despise, I now present my body A living sacrifice. Languages: English
