Original parts from Rev. A. Grambling
Rev. A. Grambling
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. Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul refreshing view Of Jesus and his word? | 3. What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left and 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. | |
