Tune: | [Thou my everlasting portion] |
Composer: | S. J. Vail |
1 Thou my everlasting portion,
More than friend or life to me;
All along my pilgrim journey,
Saviour, let me walk with Thee.
Refrain:
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 pray'r shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.
Refrain:
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to thee, close to Thee;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.
3 Lead me thro' the vale of shadows,
Lead me o'er life's fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal,
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.
Refrain:
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Then the gate of life eternal,
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.
