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 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed How sweet their mem'ry still But they have left an aching void The world can never fill Where is that blessedness I knew When first I sought the Lord? Where is the soul refreshing view Of Jesus and His Word? ♪ The dearest idol I have known Whate'er that idol be Help me to tear it from Thy throne And worship only Thee So shall my walk be close with God Serene and calm my frame So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb O for a closer walk with God
