Hymn 598
Thou my everlasting Portion
Meter: 8.7.8.7.D. & Ref.
1
Thou my everlasting Portion
More than friend or life to me
All along my pilgrim journey
Saviour, let me walk with Thee.
CHORUS
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
All along my pilgrim journey
Saviour, let me walk with Thee.
2
Not for ease or worldly pleasure
Nor for fame my prayer shall be
Gladly will I toil and suffer
mpOnly let me walk with Thee.
3
Lead me through the vale of shadows
Bear me o’er life’s fitful sea
Then the gate of life eternal
mpMay I enter, Lord with Thee.
