Oh for a Closer Walk with God

Hymnal: Living Hymns #415 (1890) First Line: O for a closer walk with God! 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 Return! O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made thee mourn. And drove thee from my breast. 3 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 4 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.
