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. |

Feel so blessed... this song is my prayer... Father let me hear you in accent clear and still, above the murmur of self will in Jesus Name, Amen.

Such lovely words.

God bless you for the the text. Please revert to verse 5, second to the last line as there’s an error there. Where you have “rest”, it’s supposed to be Heaven. Thank you once again.

As I sang this hymn while the Sunday service was going on I felt His presence, as I want God to keep speaking to me in accent clear and still and let Him show me His footmarks so that I can be guided to place mine where He places His footmarks. Thank You for Thy mercy, my master and my friend.

I was awake in the night singing this song in my spirit so I purposed in my heart to check all the words this morning. God is speaking.
