Verse 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
Verse 2
Where is the blessèdness I knew
When I first saw the Lord
Where is that soul refreshing view
Of Jesus and His word
Chorus
O Fire of God come burn in me
Renew a holy passion
Till Christ my deepest longing be
My never-failing fountain
My never-failing fountain
Verse 3
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed
How sweet the memory still
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill
Verse 4
The dearest idol I have known
Whate'er that idol be
Help me tear it from Thy throne
And worship only Thee
Verse 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
