Verse 1:
G             D7      G
Thou, my ever-lasting portion,
                            D
More than friend or life to me,
G                    C
All along my pilgrim journey,
G              D7        G
Savior, let me walk with Thee.
D                       G
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
                        D
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
G            G7      C
All along my pilgrim journey,
        G      D7        G
Savior, let me walk with Thee.

Verse 2:
G               D7      G
Not for ease or worldly pleasure,
                             D
Nor for fame my prayer shall be;
G                      C
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
     G      D7        G
Only let me walk with Thee.
D                       G
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
                        D
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,
                           D
Bear me o'er life's fitful sea;
G                       C
Then the gate of life e-ternal,
      G     D7         G
May I enter Lord, with Thee.
D                       G
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
                        D
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
G                G7    C
Then the gate of life e-ternal,
      G     D7         G
May I enter Lord, with Thee.
