Oh, for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,366 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 20:4-5 Lyrics: 1 Oh, 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 Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O Holy Dove! return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
and drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne,
and worship only thee.
6 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: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Our Response to Christ In Penitence; Holy Spirit name and images for; Penitence Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)

days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."

give our hearts to thine obedience,
serve and love thee best of all. Topics: Invitation to Consecration; Pleasure; Following God/Christ; Invitation to Consecration; Invitation to Discipleship; Love Our Love of Christ; Obedience; Pleasure Used With Tune: PLEADING SAVIOR

Author: John Wesley (1703-1791); Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 265 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 20:3 First Line: Thou hidden love of God, whose height Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
whose depth unfathomed, no one knows,
I see from far thy beauteous light,
inly I sigh for thy repose;
my heart is pained, nor can it be
at rest till it finds rest in thee.
2 Thy secret voice invites me still
the sweetness of thy yoke to prove;
and fain I would; but, though my will
seem fixed, yet wide my passions rove;
yet hindrances strew all the way;
I aim at thee, yet from thee stray.
3 'Tis mercy all, that thou hast brought
my mind to seek its peace in thee;
yet, while I seek but find thee not,
no peace my wandering soul shall see.
Oh, when shall all my wanderings end,
and all my steps to thee-ward tend?
4 Is there a thing beneath the sun
that strives with thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
the Lord of every motion there;
then shall my heart from earth be free,
when it hath found repose in thee. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in adoration and gratitude; God Love of; Longing Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

The Catechism's doctrine plain
As Luther taught the Word of Truth
In simple style to tender youth.
2 Help us Thy holy Law to learn,
To mourn our sin, and from it turn
In faith to Thee and to Thy Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
3 Hear us, dear Father, when we pray
For needed help from day to day
That as Thy children we may live,
Whom Thou in Baptism didst receive.
4 Lord, when we fall and sin doth stain,
Absolve and lift us up again;
And thro' the Sacrament increase
Our faith till we depart in peace.
Amen.
