Lyrics

Chorus

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

Verse 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 Thee each day.

Verse 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.

Verse 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 Thee each day.
