English text
Oh! 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!
What peaceful hours I then enjoyed!
How sweet their mem'ry 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,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from Thy throne
and worship only Thee.
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
and drove Thee from my breast.
Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest;
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.
