Keep Close to Jesus

When you start for the land of heav­en­ly rest

Keep close to Je­sus all the way;

For He is the guide

and He knows the way best

Keep close to Je­sus all the way.

Keep close to Je­sus

keep close to Je­sus

Keep close to Je­sus all the way;

By day or by night nev­er turn from the right

Keep close to Jes­us all the way.

Never mind the storms or tri­als as you go

Keep close to Je­sus all the way;

’Tis a com­fort and joy His fa­vor to know

Keep close to Je­sus all the way.

To be safe from the darts of the ev­il one

Keep close to Je­sus all the way;

Take the shield of faith till the vic­to­ry is won

Keep close to Je­sus all the way.

We shall reach our home in Heav­en by and by

Keep close to Je­sus all the way;

Where to those we love we’ll nev­er say good­bye

Keep close to Je­sus all the way.
