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. |

Brought me to tears as I sung this song with my beloved husband in a way that we've never heard it sung before. Holy Spirit it is so great.

I’ve loved this hymn since secondary school assemblies where we all sang it with great gusto. I can’t sing it any other way and it always lifts my heart to my Lord my friend and my saviour. It’s great to read others comments and to know others feel just like me. Praise Jesus.

I sang this wonderful uplifting hymn just there all verses ... haven't sang it in what must be 40 plus years..... a very good reminder that singing out loud can be just as powerful as prayer.

This song came to me this morning. It is my prayer of dedicating my life over and over to God. He enables me to will and to do for His good pleasure. Glory to Jesus our Lord.
