Hymn 209
A CLOSER WALK
Verse 1
O, for a closer walk with God!
A calm and heav,nly frame,
A light to shine upon the road,
That leads me to the Lamb.
A calm and heav,nly frame,
A light to shine upon the road,
That leads me to the Lamb.
Verse 2
Return, O holy Dove! Return,
Sweet Messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
Sweet Messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
Verse 3
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void,
The world can never fill.
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void,
The world can never fill.
Verse 4
The dread idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
A worship only thee.
Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
A worship only thee.
