315- O for a Closer Walk!

Gospel: Consecration

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.
