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.
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.

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.
The world is ever near;

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 to rest receive me,
My Savior and my Friend.
And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly
Is in Thy strength alone.

Uphold me to the end;
And then to rest receive me,
My Savior and my Friend.

The first time I heard the song at mass as an exit Hymn the words really touched my heart and I teared. Since then I love the song. Reminds me of what promises I have given to Jesus when my prayers are answered.

The LORD put this song into my heart at dawn.
This is our stake to dwell in Jesus Christ and He will help us through.

I used to sing this song at Junior and Infant School in the 1970's to a fast and happy tune played on the piano by one of the Teachers. What joyful memories of raised voices in praise to the Lord Jesus, our Saviour and our Friend.

This song is touchy and ministered to me. It came to my mind during my morning devotion. God ministers to us with song. God bless the composer.
