O Jesus, I have promised

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
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.
3
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.
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;
Oh, give me grace to follow,
  My Master and my Friend.
5
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.

What a wonderful hymn. I was battling with emotional and psychological issues due to long term cough...after praying this morning. This wonderful hymn came to my mind. What a marvelous God. Thank You Jesus for Your kindness and healing.

My wife taught me this hymn and it stuck from the very first time. I must confess that it's eminently pleasant to sing every morning as it acts as the renewal of my vow to serve God every second of my life. Thank You Jesus!

I couldn't sleep had so much on my mind - this hymn just came into my head I haven't sung this song for over 45 years, oh how the Holy Spirit leads us. It's 1.30am I couldn't rest until I read all the words so I looked it up - wow I'm in awe with all the comments I have read.

I love You Jesus - yes till the end with Your strength.
