Oh for a closer walk with God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,391 hymnals 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 saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and His word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoy'd! How sweet their memory still! 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. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, 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.

This blessing, above all, Always to pray, I want, Out of the deep on Thee to call, And never, never faint. 4 I rest upon Thy Word; The promise is for me: My succor and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from Thee. But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till Thou my patient spirit guide Into Thy perfect love.
