Thou my everlasting Portion,
More than friend or life to me,
All along my pilgrim journey,
Savior, let me walk with Thee.

Close to Thee, close to Thee;
All along my pilgrim journey,

Not for ease or worldly pleasure,
Not for fame my prayer shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.

Lead me through the vale of shadows,
Bear me o’er life’s fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.

A hymn full of lessons written by a poetess who was physically challenged. This hymn comes with a terrific challenge to my heart. A blind woman who wrote about 8000 hymns still living though dead.
Oh God, what will I do while dead? Show me what to do when am gone.

The Lord has always used this hymn to revive, renew and refire me especially whenever I sense a feeling of lack or void, prayerlessness, dissatisfaction, being incomplete and having not done much for God and His Kingdom. God uses it to stir me up and pray no matter how short.
