O Jesus, I have promised

E465
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.

As we have promised to serve God to the end, may we not look back in Jesus Name. The grace to follow to the end, we receive in Jesus Name. Jesus will draw near us everyday. Thanks for uploading this song. God bless.

Re dedication today on Pentecost Sunday. We thank God for good Christian upbringing. Truly hymns inspire!

This hymn makes me happy. When I am angry it makes me cry. Sometimes I remember when I am in j s s 1 and 2. It is always what I read when I am less busy and even in my primary.

One of the most beautiful hymns.

I remember this hymn from when I first went to school at 5 in Storey Street, North Woolwich and still in my heart today at the age of 45.
