Just a Closer Walk With 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.

I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong.
I'll be satisfied as long
As I can walk, dear Lord, close to thee.

In this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who but Thee my burden shares?
None but Thee, oh Lord, none but Thee.

When my weary life is o'er
Pain and suff'ring are no more.
Who will lead me safely o'er
Canaan's shore, that sweet Canaan's shore.

Recorded by Mahalia Jackson, Van Ronk,etc.
