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;
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.

Only let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
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.

Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.

This hymn is so uplifting. It's my spirit- inspired hymn for the year, so far.

I never knew this beautiful hymn was written by beloved Fanny Crosby. I am deeply blessed by its lyrics and rhythm.
