Just a Closer Walk with Thee is a traditional gospel song that has been performed and recorded by many artists in both instrumental or vocal form. 'Just A Closer Walk' is perhaps the most frequently played number in the hymn and dirge section of traditional New Orleans jazz funeral music. The title and lyrics of the song allude to the Biblical passage from 2 Corinthians 5:7 which states, 'We walk by faith, not by sight' and James 4:8, 'Come near to God and he will come near to you.' The precise source of the work was unknown until quite recently. Circumstantial evidence strongly suggested it dated back to southern African-American churches of the nineteenth century, prior to theAmerican Civil War, as some personal African-American histories recalling 'slaves singing as they worked in the fields a song about walking by the Lord's side.'
