1 In Thy field I would wield sickles brave and true,
In the fight for the right I would dare and do,
Spend my days in Thy praise all the journey thru,
Let me live close to Thee each day.

Refrain:
Let me live close to Thee,
Take my hand, dear Lord, and guide me all along the rugged way;
O let me live close to Thee
Let me walk and talk with Thee, dear Lord each day.

2 Not the crown nor renown that the world might see,
I would work, never shirk blessed Lord, for Thee,
But to know where I go that my soul is free,
Let me live close to Thee each day. [Refrain]

3 Help me bear and to share some poor pilgrim’s load,
Be my friend to the end of the toilsome road,
I would sing to my King in the soul’s abode,
Let me live close to Thee each day. [Refrain]
