O for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,377 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42:1-2 Lyrics: 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 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed,
how sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
3 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest:
I hate the sins that made thee mourn
and drove thee from my breast.
4 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne
and worship only thee.
5 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. Topics: Commitment; Discipleship; Jesus Names and images for; Lent; Longing; Penitence; Pilgrimage; Proper 14 Year B; Sin; The First Sunday of Lent Year B Used With Tune: CAITHNESS
O for a closer walk with God
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Author: Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 892 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily course of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and early rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unwearied sing
High praises to th' eternal King.
3 Glory to thee, who safe hast kept,
And hast refreshed me while I slept:
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless life partake.
4 Lord, I my vows to thee renew;
Scatter my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with thyself my spirit fill.
5 Direct, control, suggest this day
All I design, or do, or say;
That all my powers, with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.
6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar; Early Hours for God

When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Your joys when shall I see?

O sweet and pleasant soil!
In you no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.

Continually are green;
There grow such sweet and pleasant flow'rs
As nowhere else are seen.
4 There trees forevermore bear fruit
And evermore do spring;
There evermore the angels sit
and evermore do sing.

God grant that I may see
Your endless joy, and of the same
Partaker ever be!

Give me the wings of faith to rise
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 518 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42:1-4 Lyrics: 1 Give me the wings of faith to rise
within the veil, and see
the saints above, how great their joys,
how bright their glories be.
2 Once they were mourning here below,
and poured out sighs and tears;
they wrestled hard, as we do now,
with sins and doubts and fears.
3 I ask them whence their victory came;
they, with united breath,
ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
their triumph to his death.
4 They marked the footsteps that he trod,
his zeal inspired their quest,
and, following their incarnate God,
possess the promised rest.
5 Our glorious leader claims our praise
for his own pattern given;
while the long cloud of witnesses
show the same path to heaven.
