Oh, for a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,373 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51:10-12 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.
