68. O For a Closer Walk With God / Aspiration / By bestguyblogs Verse 1O For a closer walk with God,A calm and heav’nly frame,A light to shine upon the roadThat leads me to the Lamb. Verse 2Where is the blessedness I knewWhen first I saw the Lord?Where is that soul-refreshing viewOf Jesus and His word? Verse 3What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!How sweet their memory still!But they have left an aching voidThe world can never fill? Verse 4Return, O Holy Dove! return,Sweet messenger of rest!I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast. Verse 5The dearest idol have known,Whate’er that idol be,Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee. Verse 6So 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. Author: William Cowper Related posts:Hymn 17: SALVATION!
