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, Close to Thee, close to Thee; All along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee. |

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. |
| Close to Thee, close to Thee, 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, Bear me o’er life’s fitful sea; Then the gate of life eternal May I enter, Lord, with Thee. |
| Close to Thee, close to Thee, Close to Thee, close to Thee; Then the gate of life eternal May I enter, Lord, with Thee. |

What a challenge, if a blind woman - Fanny Jane Crosby could do this ever inspiring, timeless and ageless song for the Lord since the 17th century, may we all ask ourselves what legacy we are leaving behind in the sands of time as we go.
Fanny has been resting in the bosom of the master she loved so much, while the impact of her work while here on earth continues to affect generation after generation for our Lord Jesus Christ.
May the Lord help us and our generation to serve him as these old saints did. Amen.

What else does man need, just be close to God. We sung this hymn this morning and I knew it was a prayer from my heart. I just browsed looking for it because I just want to sing again and again!

I fondly remember singing this hymn on a Sunday. Bringing back memories of my grandfolks, my parents and my uncle Ivan singing with gusto in the Apostolic Unity Church Lansdowne Congregation

This hymn reminds me of our helplessness and total dependence on our Maker. We are strangers and pilgrims in this world (1 Pet 2:11). To make it Home, we need a close walk with our Maker. We need to walk with Him like this hymn says.

This song is never old. It is new everyday in my soul. Sing it and believe it. We shall all make heaven at last in Jesus Name. Thanks for uploading this song. God bless you.

This is a daily song for pilgrims. I have always been blessed and strengthened why I sing this hymn written by holy men of God. It was not written to make money or for entertainment but an expression of their lives and focus on the cross of Christ. This songs are timeless because they were lifted by the Holy Spirit from a regenerated life. Oh may I continue to come close to thee till I see You face to face.
This is a song for every Christian to sing and meditates on every day It will help us in our Christian journey.
