hymnal 435
1 Thou, my everlasting portion, more than friend or life to me;
all along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to thee, close to thee, close to thee;
All along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee.
2 Not for ease or worldly pleasure, nor for fame my prayer shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer, only let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to thee, close to thee, close to thee;
All along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee.
3 Lead me thro' the vale of shadows, bear me o'er life's fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal may I enter, Lord, with Thee
Close to Thee, close to thee, close to thee, close to thee;
All along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee.
