| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | 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, |

| | 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, |
