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 to Thee each day.
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.
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.
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 to Thee each day.
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
Let me live close to Thee,
Guide me all along the way;
Let me live close to Thee,
Let me walk close to Thee each day.
Guide me all along the way;
Let me live close to Thee,
Let me walk close to Thee each day.
