African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#387

387. Just a Closer Walk with Thee

Refrain:
Just a closer walk with Thee;
Grant it, Jesus, if you please,
Daily walking close with Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

1 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 with Thee. [Refrain]

2 Through this world of toil and shares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. [Refrain]

3 When my feeble life is o'er,
Times for me won't be no more,
Guide me gently, safely o'er,
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore. [Refrain]
