Text: | Close to Thee |
Author: | Fanny J. Crosby |
Tune: | [Thou, my everlasting portion] |
Composer: | Silas 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.
Close to Thee, Close to Thee,
Close to Thee, Close to Thee;
All along my pilgrim journey,
Saviour, 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;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.
3 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.
