Stanford ( ) O 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! Return, O holy Dove, return! 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. William Cowper ( ) Anthem Lord, thou hast been our refuge Edward Bairstow ( ) Lord, thou hast been our refuge from one generation to another. Before the mountains were brought faith or ever the earth and the world were made, thou art God from everlasting, and world without end. Lord, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto him; or the son of man, that thou so regardest him? Man is like a thing of nought: his time passeth away like a shadow, but thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever, and thy remembrance throughout all generations. Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Sion, yea the time is come that thou have mercy. Comfort us again, now after the time that thou hast plagued us; and for the years wherein we have suffered adversity. Amen.
