Thou my everlasting Portion

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.

Not for ease or worldly pleasure

Not 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;

Gladly will I toil and suffer

Only let me walk with Thee.

Lead me through 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;

Then the gate of life eternal

May I enter

Lord

with Thee.
