Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;

Nor for fame my pray'r shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee. [Refrain]

Bear me o'er life's fitful sea:
Then the gate of life eternal,
May I enter, Lord, with Thee. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Thou, my everlasting portion]
