1. O Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; Be Thou for ever near me, My Master and my Friend; I shall not fear the battle If Thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway If Thou wilt be my Guide. 2. O let me feel Thee near me; The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear; My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. 3. O let me hear Thee speaking, In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self will, O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul. 4. O Jesus, Thou has promised, To all who follow Thee, That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow My Master and my Friend.
