O For a Closer Walk With God, a hymn from the Episcopal hymnal, had me again reflecting on photography and faith. Written by William Cowper (1731 - 1800) with music from Caithness, 1635 and The English Hymnal,1906, it had me visualizing a post immediately.
"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!"
"Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest; I hate
the sins that made thee mourn, and
sweet messenger of rest; I hate
the sins that made thee mourn, and
drove thee from my breast."
"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."
with God, calm and serene my
frame; so purer light shall mark
the road that leads me to the lamb."
