Hymn 24: Thou My Everlasting Portion
==================================================
1. Thou my everlasting portion 
   More than friend or life to me,
   All a long my pil-grim jour-ney,
   Saviour, let me walk with Thee.
   Close to Thee, close to Thee
   Close to Thee, close to Thee
   All a-long my pil-grim jour-ney,
   Saviour, let me walk with Thee.

2. 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.

3. Lead me through the vale of shadows,
   Bear me o’er life’s fulfill 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
