[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;
G             G7       C
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
G      D7        G
Only let me walk with Thee.

[Verse 3]
G                   D7      G
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.
