JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE,
GRANT IT, JESUS, IS MY PLEA,
DAILY WALKING CLOSE TO THEE,
LET IT BE, DEAR LORD, LET IT BE.
I AM WEAK, BUT THOU ART STRONG;
JESUS, KEEP ME FROM ALL WRONG;
I’LL BE SATISFIED AS LONG
AS I WALK, LET ME WALK CLOSE TO THEE.
THROUGH THIS WORLD OF TOIL AND SNARES,
IF I FALTER, LORD, WHO CARES?
WHO WITH ME MY BURDEN SHARES?
NONE BUT THEE, DEAR LORD, NONE BUT THEE.
WHEN MY FEEBLE LIFE IS O’ER,
TIME FOR ME WILL BE NO MORE;
GUIDE ME GENTLY, SAFELY O’ER
TO THY KINGDOM SHORE, TO THY SHORE.
