O for a closer walk with God

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Common Praise #532 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 6:9 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 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed, how sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 3 Return, O holy Dove, return, sweet messenger of rest: I hate the sins that made thee mourn and drove thee from my breast. 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.

Ezekiel 33:11

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Laudes Domini #276 (1888) Scripture: Genesis 6:3 First Line: Sinners, turn, why will ye die? Lyrics: 1 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Maker, asks you--Why? God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live; He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of his own hands,-- Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love, and die? 2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you--Why? He who did your souls retrieve, Died himself that ye might live. Will ye let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed sinners, why Will ye slight his grace, and die? 3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you--Why? He, who all your lives hath strove, Urged you to embrace his love: Will ye not his grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? Why, ye long-sought sinners! why, Will ye grieve your God, and die?

Immortal Love for ever full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Common Praise #475 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 6:9 Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love for ever full, for ever flowing free, for ever shared, for ever whole, a never-ebbing sea. 2 Our outward lips confess the name all other names above; love only knoweth whence it came and comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps to bring the Lord Christ down; in vain we search the lowest deeps, for him no depths can drown: 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet a present help is he; and faith has still its Olivet, and love its Galilee. *5 The healing of his seamless dress is by our beds of pain; we touch him in life's throng and press, and we are whole again. *6 Through him the first fond prayers are said our lips of childhood frame; the last low whispers of our dead are burdened with his name. 7 Alone, O Love ineffable, thy saving name is given; to turn aside from thee is hell, to walk with thee is heaven.
