¶Lyrics / Text

Oh! 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! What peaceful hours I then enjoyed! How sweet their mem'ry still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. Return, O holy Dove, return, sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, and drove Thee from my breast. The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy throne and worship only Thee. I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, and drove Thee from my breast. Return, O holy Dove, return, sweet messenger of rest; 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.
