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. |

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 to rest receive me, My Savior and my Friend. |

Woke this morning with a heavy heart. Started to search for hymns I had sung as a chorister in UK some 60 years ago. Found this and cried. How I wish I had kept the words with me all those years. Thank you Lord for reminding me.

This song has been a piece of inspiration to me. God bless the composer.

A hymn of personal prayer and dedication. This morning I woke up with this hymn and searched my SS&S but couldn't get it til I got to the net. It's refreshing. Thank you Jesus Christ for the inspiration you gave the composers.

Just this early morning as I was praying, this hymn came up in my spirit, I perceived it so strong in the spirit. The amazing thing is that, the last time I sang this hymn was during my secondary school days, that's 20 Years ago. Thank you Holy Spirit for this wonderful hymn.

I thank God for inspiring this ageless Hymn. It’s ever fresh. Whenever I sing/hear it, God uses it to refresh & focus me. I decided to look for its wordings/Lyrics again today, as I’m preparing some admonition for Our Discovery Centre - a Youth Group - (I Tim 4:12, 16).

A precious hymn assuring us of His constant presence. The tunes are also good, but I love Angel's Story. Absorb this hymn and stay in touch with the Savior.

I really love this hymn since secondary school.... I just can't forget it.
It gives me joy and peace of mind when I sing it.

I sang this hymn first 1981 when I entered secondary school, since then it has never left My mouth, I sing it to rededicate my life to Christ Jesus and also encourage Myself when I'm in distress. Every stanza of this hymn is a powerful prayer and exultant.

I first heard this song as a child in primary school and it did something to me. I gave my life to God at age 12. And He has not left me through all struggling. I am now 51 and can truly say In Him I live and move and have my being.

Just love this hymn!
