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 re-assure 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! (Amen)
