1  Thou my everlasting Portion,

    More than friend or life to me,

    All along my pilgrim journey,

    Savior, 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.

 3  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.
