• “Just a Closer Walk With Thee” is one of the most popular hymns played by brass bands. When played at a jazz funeral, this song is typically played as a slow, mournful hymn as the pallbearers bring the body of the deceased out of the church and place the casket in a hearse or horse-drawn carriage.

• As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. Refrain: 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. 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. When my feeble life is o’er.
