"Just a Closer Walk with Thee"

"Just a closer walk with Thee

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


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


When my feeble life is over

Time for me will be no more

Guide me gently, safely over

To thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore


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.
