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!


O for a closer walk with God,<br>
Return, O holy dove, return,
A calm and heavenly frame;<br>
Sweet messenger of rest;
A light to shine upon the road<br>
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
That leads me to the Lamb!<br>
And drove thee from my breast.


Return, O holy dove, return,<br>
So shall my walk be close with God,
Sweet messenger of rest;<br>
Calm and serene my frame;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,<br>
So purer light shall mark the road
And drove thee from my breast.<br>
That leads me to the Lamb.}}
 
So shall my walk be close with God,<br>
Calm and serene my frame;<br>
So purer light shall mark the road<br>
That leads me to the Lamb.

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!

Return, O holy dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.

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.
