Psalms_84-11: For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Where is the blessedness I knew

When first I saw the Lord?

Where is that soul-refreshing

view

Of Jesus and His word?

 

 

 

 

 

 

What peaceful hours I once

enjoyed!

How sweet their memory still!

But they have left an aching void

The world can never fill.

 

 

 

 

 

Return, O holy Dove! return,

Sweet messenger of rest!

I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,

And drove Thee from my breast.

 

 

 

 

 

The dearest idol I have known,

Whatever…
