Transcript
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,
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed
How sweet their memory still
But they have left an aching void,
The world can never fill.
A calm and Heavenly frame:
A light to shine upon the road.
That leads me to the lamb,
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed
How sweet their memory still
But they have left an aching void,
The world can never fill.

The full hymn
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!
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I sought the Lord?
Where is the soul refreshing view
of Jesus and His Word?
3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed!
How sweet their mem'ry still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
and drove Thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from Thy throne
and worship only Thee.
6 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.
