O for a Closer Walk with God Lyrics
1. O for a closer walk with God. A calm an heavenly frame. A light that shine upon the road that leads me to the lamb.
2. Where is the blessedness I know when saw the Lord where is the soul refreshing view of Jesus and his word.
3. What peaceful houses I once enjoyed. How still 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 What e’ 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.
