Oh for a Closer Walk with God – Paisley Abbey Choir
[[] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ac2SiQaxKI ]
‘Oh for a Closer Walk with God’, arranged by CV Stanford, sung by the choir of Paisley Abbey.
This is a recording from Songs of Praise hence the wee clip of Steph Macleod’s prayer at the beginning which leads nicely into the Anthem.
O for a closer walk with God
A calm and heavenly frame
A light to shine upon the road
Leading to the Lamb
Where is the blessedness I knew
When once I saw the Lord
Where is the soul refreshing view
Living in His Word
O fire of God come burn in me
Renew a holy passion
Til Christ my deepest longing be
My never-failing fountain
My never-failing fountain
A light to be my guide
The Father’s presence at my side
In Your will my rest I find
O for a closer walk with God – leading to the Lamb
So shall my walk be close with God
With all the hopes made new
So purer light shall mark the road
Leading to the Lamb
