O for a closer walk with God
O For A Closer Walk With God (Martyrdom)
Verse 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
Verse 2
Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord
Where is the soul refreshing view
Of Jesus and His word
Chorus
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed
How sweet their memory still
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill
Verse 3
Return O holy Dove return
Sweet messenger of rest
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn
And drove Thee from my breast
Chorus
The dearest idol I have known
Whate'er that idol be
Help me to tear it from Thy throne
And worship only Thee
Verse 4
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
