<blockquote>

<p>I began to compose them yesterday morning before daybreak, but I fell asleep at the end of the first two lines. When I awaked again, the third and fourth verses were whispered to my heart in a way I have often experienced.</p>

|
<p>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!</p>
|
|
<p>Where is the blessedness I knew,<br>
|
|
When first I saw the Lord?<br>
|
|
Where is the soul refreshing view<br>
|
|
Of Jesus and His Word?</p>
|
|
<p>What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!<br>
|
|
How sweet their memory still!<br>
|
|
But they have left an aching void<br>
|
|
The world can never fill.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>The dearest idol I have known,<br>
|
|
Whate’er that idol be<br>
|
|
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,<br>
|
|
And worship only Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
