Tune: Belmont
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!
Where is the blessedness I knew,
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul refreshing view
Of Jesus and His Word?
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made You mourn
And drove You from my breast.
The dearest idol I have known,
However much adored
Help me to tear it from Your throne,
And worship only Lord.
So shall my walk be close with God,
my mind serene and calm;
Then purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
