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.
Oh, 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.
Oh, Let Me Hear Thee Speaking,
In Accents Clear And Still,
Above The Storms Of Passion,
The Murmurs Of Self-Will.
Oh Speak, To Reassure Me,
To Hasten Or Control ;
Oh Speak, And Make Me Listen,
Thou Guardian Of My Soul !
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 ;
Oh, Give Me Grace To Follow
My Master And My Friend !
Oh, Let Me See Thy Footmarks,
And In Them Plant Mine Own ;
My Hope To Follow Duly
Is In Thy Strength Alone.
Oh, Guide Me, Call Me, Draw Me,
Uphold Me To The End ;
And Then In Heaven Receive Me,
My Saviour And My Friend !
