Verse 1

O for a closer walk with God

That closeness of a friend

That sweet communion with my Lord

That draws my heart to rest

Verse 2

What happened to the joy I knew

When I first sought the Lord?

Where is that soul refreshing view

Of Jesus and His Word?

Chorus

Let my soul awake Let my soul awake

To the wonders of your grace

Lord revive my heart, change my every part

That my life would burst out in praise

I long to worship You in Spirit and in truth

As I walk with You

Verse 3

O Holy Spirit come and speak

Restore my joy again

Teach me to hate my sins that grieve

The One who bled for them

Verse 4

The dearest idol I have known

That I so often choose

Help me to tear it from Your throne

And worship only You

Verse 5

Your image marred will be restored

Your work You will complete

And we will walk through heaven’s courts

In perfect joy and peace

Based on the hymn by William Cowper (1731-1800)
