Supplication · Hymn 548 · 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.7
Thou my everlasting Portion
“Draw me away! We will run after you”. Sos. 1:14
1.
Thou my everlasting Portion
More than friend or life to me
All along my pilgrim journey
Saviour, let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee, Close to Thee
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
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
3.
Lead me through the vale of shadows
Bear me o’er life’s fitfuls 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
Amen
