Close to Thee
Fanny Crosby, Silas J. Vail
Thy my everlasting portion more than friend or life to me
All alone my pilgrim journey Saviour let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee close to Thee close to Thee close to Thee
All alone my pilgrim journey Saviour let me walk with Thee
Not for easy wordly pleasure nor for fame my prayer 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
[ piano ]
Lead me through the veil 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
