Thou my everlasting Portion,
More than friend or life to me,
All along my pilgrim journey,
Savior, let me walk with Thee.

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.

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.

Nice hymn but I always feel sad with the words of the first stanza of the hymn. I like the tune.

Oh how gracious! Jesus is not the means to our goals, He is our goal... All that we live for... The focus of our lives... He is our portion! Praise God!

Glory to the name of God, had an encounter this morning with the Holy Ghost. Then I got to see this hymn the afternoon. I'm learning by heart the wordings and the encouragement to keep going with Christ. God bless you

I've been praying in tongue mysteriously nonstop almost since last night and this later part of the evening today comes this song stuck even now in my spirit and thought came to my mind to google it up and now here I am.
Isn't God good? I suppose a battle is won and a chain or chaines are broken and barriers are down flat before me.
