Lyrics

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.


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.


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.


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!
