Verse 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!
Verse 2
Where is the blessedness I knew,
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul refreshing view
Of Jesus, and His Word?
Verse 3
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
