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! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill, 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, I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, What e'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee, 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, So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.
