315   O for a Closer Walk!




[1]
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.

[2]
Return O holy Dove! return
Sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn
And drove Thee from my breast.

[3]
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never till.

[4]
The dearest idol I have known
Whate er that idol be
Help me to tear it from Thy throne
And worship only Thee.
