Just a Closer Walk With Thee Mahalia Jackson

Just a Closer Walk With Thee

Mahalia Jackson

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 to 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

When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er

When you come to the End of

CE1 A PERFECT DAY (1909) 
Words and Music by Carrie Jacobs-Bond (1862-1946)

Mahalia Jackson 

When you come to the end of a perfect day, 
And you sit alone with your thought, 
While the chimes ring out with a carol gay, 
For the joy that the day has brought, 
Do you think what the end of a perfect day 
Can mean to tired heart, 
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray, 
And the dear hearts have to part? 
Well, this is the end of a perfect day, 
Near the end of a journey, too, 
But it leaves a thought that is big and strong, 
With a wish that is kind and true. 
For mem'ry has painted this perfect day 
With colors that never fade, 
And we find at the end of a perfect day, 
The soul of a friend we've made.
