Thou my everlasting portion, More than friend or life to me, All along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee. Refrain 1: 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, Nor for fame my prayer shall be; Gladly will I toil and suffer, Only let me walk with Thee. Refrain 2: 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. Refrain 3: Close to Thee, close to Thee, Close to Thee, close to Thee, Then the gate of life eternal May I enter, Lord, with Thee.
