Author: William CowperHymnal: Glory to God #739 (2013)Meter: 8.6.8.6Topics: Confession; Discipleship and Mission; Gift of the Holy Spirit; Renewal; Repentance; SinLyrics: 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!
2 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn
and drove thee from my breast.
3 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne,
and worship only thee.
4 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.Scripture: Genesis 8:22Languages: EnglishTune Title: CAITHNESS
