\nO for a closer walk with God,
\nA calm and heavenly frame,
\nA light to shine upon the road
\nThat leads me to the Lamb!<\/p>\n
2
\nReturn, O holy Dove, return,
\nSweet messenger of rest!
\nI hate the sins that made Thee mourn
\nAnd drove Thee from my breast.<\/p>\n

\nWhat peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
\nHow sweet their memory still!
\nBut they have left an aching void
\nThe world can never fill.<\/p>\n

\nThe dearest idol I have known,
\nWhate’er that idol be
\nHelp me to tear it from Thy throne,
\nAnd worship only Thee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
