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 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
3
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
4
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

O let me see Thy footprints and in them plant mine own
My hope to follow duly is in Thy strength alone
O guide me call me draw me uphold me to the end
And then in Heaven receive me my Savior and my friend
