78. Keep Close to Jesus

1 Keep close to Jesus and the day will be a bright one;
Keep close to Jesus and your load will be a light one;
Keep close to Jesus and your way will be the right one;
Keep close to Jesus all the way.

Refrain:
Keep close, very close, ever close to Jesus;
Keep close to Jesus ev’ry day;
Keep close, very close, ever close to Jesus,
Keep close to Jesus all the way.

2 Keep close to Jesus would you stand against temptation;
Keep close to Jesus for the raptures of salvation;
Keep close to Jesus for His peace in tribulation;
Keep close to Jesus all the way. [Refrain]

3 Keep close to Jesus all of sin behind you;
Keep close to Jesus and no fetters more will bind you;
Keep close to Jesus for the glory God designed you;
Keep close to Jesus all the way. [Refrain]
