Lam 3:24-26
24. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25. The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

lyrics
Thou my everlasting portion,
More than friend or life to me;
All along my pilgrim journey,
Saviour, let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
All along my pilgrim journey,
Saviour, let me walk with Thee.
Not for ease, or wordly pleasure,
Nor for fame my prayer shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.
Lead me through the veil of shadows,
Bear me o'er life's fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter Lord, with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter Lord, with Thee.
