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

English text
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.
William Cowper (1731-1800)
