Lyrics
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.
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.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.
Thou didst take the cup of suff'ring,
Praying in Gethsemane;
In the sorrow of Thine hou'r,
Saviour, let me watch with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
In the sorrow of Thine hou'r,
Saviour, let me watch with Thee.
Thou didst bear to Calv'ry's mountain,
Cross, and stripes, and thorns for me;
Let me on that fateful journey,
Saviour, bear Thy cross with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Let me on that fateful journey,
Saviour, bear Thy cross with Thee.
Tasting death for ev'ry mortal,
By God's grace on Calvary;
Sharing there Thy crucifixion,
Saviour, let me die with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Sharing there Thy crucifixion,
Saviour, let me die with Thee.
Dead to sin, I am now buried,
From its curse forever free;
Buried with Thee in baptism,
Saviour, let me rest with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Buried with Thee in baptism,
Saviour, let me rest with Thee.
Planted with Thee in Thy dying,
Risen like Thee I shall be;
By the Father's might and glory,
Saviour, let me rise with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
By the Father's might and glory,
Saviour, let me rise with Thee.
Dead to Law, and its dominion,
Under grace I am now free;
In the new life of Thy Spirit,
Saviour, let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
In the new life of Thy Spirit,
Saviour, let me walk with Thee.
Things above, I am now seeking,
Life is hid in God with Thee;
In the heav'nlies with the blessed,
Saviour, let me sit with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
In the heav'nlies with the blessed,
Saviour, let me sit with Thee.
Blessed hope, I 'wait Thy coming,
In a moment changed I'll be;
Should I sooner end my journey,
Saviour, let me sleep in Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Should I sooner end my journey,
Saviour, let me sleep in Thee.
Brought with Thee in resurrection,
Raised to meet Thee in the air;
Immortality's perfection,
Saviour, let me with Thee share.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Immortality's perfection,
Saviour, let me with Thee share.
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.
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.
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.
