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!

Where is the blessedness I knew

when first I sought the Lord?

of Jesus and His Word?

sweet messenger of rest;

and drove Thee from my breast.

The dearest idol I have known,

whate'er that id-ol be,

help me to tear it from Thy throne

calm and serene my frame;

so purer light shall mark the road

that leads me to the Lamb.
