Lyics

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.



The dearest idol I have known,

Whate'er that idol be,

Help me to tear it from thy throne, 

And worship only thee.



So shall my walk be close with God,

Calm and serene my frame;

And heavenly light shall mark the road

That leads me to the Lamb.
