196.  Walking With God

1
O for a closer walk with God,
To glorify his name,
To let my light shine on the road
That leads men to the Lamb!

2
The dearest object I have known,
Whate’er that object be,
I want to banish from thy throne,
And worship only thee.

3
Lord, give me grace to walk with thee
Through pain, or loss, or shame,
That ev’ry act may henceforth be
An honor to thy name.
