Just a closer walk with Thee

I’ll be satisfied as long
C G C
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

G
Just a closer walk with Thee,
C
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
F
Daily walking close to Thee,
C G C
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
Refrain
When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
C G
While shepherds watched
F C
Their flocks by night
C D G
All seated on the ground
F G E
The angel of the Lord came down
G F C
And glory shone around
"Fear not," he said,
For mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind."
"To you in David's
Town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign."
"The heavenly Babe
You there shall find
To human view displayed
And meanly wrapped
In swathing bands
And in a manger laid."
Thus spake the seraph,
And forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song
"All glory be to
God on high
And to the earth be peace;
Goodwill henceforth
From heaven to men
Begin and never cease!"

Read MoreO Little Town of Bethlehem
C F
O little town of Bethlehem,
C G C
How still we see thee lie;
C F
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
C G C
The silent stars go by.
C E
Yet in the dark streets shineth
Am E
The everlasting light;
C F
The hopes and fears of all the years
C G C
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth;
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silent, how silently
The wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heav'n.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord, Emmanuel.

‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus
G C G
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
A D
Just to take him at his word;
G C G
Just to rest up-on his promise,
C D G
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."
(chorus)
G D
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
G A A
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
G C G
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
C D G
O for grace to trust him more!
Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
