O For A Closer Walk With God

歌詞

O for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road Leading to the Lamb. Where is that blessèdness I knew When I first saw the Lord? Where is that soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and His word? O Fire of God, come burn in me Renew a holy passion Till Christ my deepest longing be My never-failing fountain My never-failing fountain What peaceful hours I once enjoyed, How sweet the memory still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill! O Fire of God, come burn in me Renew a holy passion Till Christ my deepest longing be My never-failing fountain My never-failing fountain The dearest idol I have known, Whate’er that idol be, Help me tear if from Thy throne, And worship only Thee. 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. O Fire of God, come burn in me Renew a holy passion Till Christ my deepest longing be My never-failing fountain My never-failing fountain
