1 Thou, my everlasting portion,
More than friend or life to me;
All along my pilgrim journey,
Savior, let me walk with Thee.
Refrain:
Close to Thee, Close to Thee,
Close to Thee, Close to Thee,
All along this tedious journey,
Savior, 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. [Refrain]
