"Just a Closer Walk with Thee" is a traditional #gospel song and #jazzStandard that has been performed and recorded by many artists. Performed as either an instrumental or vocal, "A Closer Walk" is perhaps the most frequently played number in the #hymn and #dirge section of #traditionalNewOrleansJazz funerals. The title and lyrics of the song allude to the Biblical passage from #2Corinthians 5:7 which states, "We walk by faith, not by sight" and #James 4:8.

A quotation from The Bible

We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
 
[μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
2 Corinthians 4: 18 [KJV (1611)]
