Closer Walk With God 491
Tune: D. J. Givens, 1909
Alto: Miss Claudia Wiggins, 1909
Lyrics: William Cowper, 1779
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heav'nly frame;
A light to shine upon the road,
That leads me to the Lamb.
Chorus:
I want my friends to go with me
To my eternal home;
I want my friends to go with me
To the New Jerusalem.
Where is the blessedness I knew,
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul's refreshing view
Of Jesus and His word.
(Chorus)
