Thou my everlasting portion, 
  3   4     54-3-4     43

more than friend or life to me, 
  5   -5     6    5  -4  -5  5

all along my pilgrim journey, 
 3    45   5    56      6-5

Savior, let me walk with thee. 
  5-4    4  5    5  -4    4

Refrain:
Close to thee, close to thee, 
  -3   4   -4    -5   -4  4

close to thee, close to thee, 
  5   -5   6      6   5   -4

all along my pilgrim journey, 
 3    45   5   56       6-5

Savior, let me walk with thee. 
  5-4    4   5   5    -4   4

Not for ease or worldly pleasure, 
nor for fame my prayer shall be; 
gladly will I toil and suffer, 
only let me walk with thee. 

(Refrain) 

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. 

(Refrain)
