1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve Thee to the end;
be Thou forever 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 hast 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.
