The closer walk
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #289 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin First Line: Oh, for a closer walk with God Lyrics: 1 Oh, 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 Where is the blessedness I know
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
6 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. Languages: English Tune Title: HERMON

Naught of thy claim abate!
The glorious name I would not lose,
Nor change the sweet estate.

This is the name for me!

Through all eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: SERENITY

That bows before the Lord;
That owns how just and good thou art,
And trembles at thy word.
2 Oh, for those humble, contrite tears,
Which from repentance flow;
That sense of guilt which, trembling, fears
The long-suspended blow!
3 Saviour! to me, in pity give,
For sin, the deep distress;
The pledge thou wilt, at last, receive,
And bid me die in peace.
4 Oh, fill my soul with faith and love,
And strength to do thy will;
Raise my desire and hopes above,
Thyself to me reveal. Languages: English

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #295 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin First Line: Sweet was the time when first I felt Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt
The Saviour's pardoning blood
Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt,
And bring me home to God.
2 Soon as the morn the light revealed,
His praises tuned my tongue;
And, when the evening shade prevailed,
His love was all my song.
3 In prayer, my soul drew near the Lord,
And saw his glory shine;
And when I read his holy word,
I called each promise mind.
4 Now, when the evening shade prevails,
My soul in darkness mourns;
And when the morn the light reveals,
No light to me returns.
5 Rise, Saviour! help me to prevail,
And make my soul thy care;
I know thy mercy cannot fail,
Let me that mercy share. Languages: English Tune Title: COOLING

What snares beset my way!
To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
And melt in flowing tears!
My weak resistance, ah, how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!
3 O gracious God! in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid;
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Though trembling and afraid.
4 Increase my faith, increase my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up,
Or soon my strength will fail.
5 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way,
And bid the tempter flee!
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee. Languages: English

Anew from day to day,
In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.
3 Blest Jesus, come and rule my heart,
And make me wholly thine,
That I may never more depart,
Nor grieve thy love divine.
4 Thus, till my last, expiring breath,
Thy goodness I'll adore;
And when my frame dissolves in death,
My soul shall love thee more. Languages: English Tune Title: EVAN

The sins of my heart are more,
And I scarce can see for weeping;

It comes to me more and more;
But when the dear Saviour shall bid me come in,
I'll enter that open door.

I am weakest of those who pray:
But I come as he has bidden,
And he will not say me nay. [Chorus]

My sins he will wash away,
And the feet that shrink and falter,
Shall walk through the gate of day. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: AN OPEN DOOR
