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.
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.
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,

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.

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.
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.

Very nice.

Oh what a spirit-filled song. I am doing my quiet time and the song came to my spirit. we used to sing it in those days as a child in secondary school and in the Anglican church where I grew up. My children and I will serve You Lord to the very end. may God bless the composer of this song and and also bless those that find time to put it on the net in Jesus name.

Beautiful and sweet melody.

This song always reminds me of my ordination vow and I always renew my allegience to my Lord and Savior. There are many persecutions faced by the clergy, but the one who called us is faithful. Christ walked through rejection unto crucifiction, but emerged victorious; thus we follow His footsteps. Be blessed as we sing this song always.

My Cry to Ma God.
Akoka- Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria
This song has, is and will always be the cry of my heart to God. He is the reason I live and may my life truly be lived for Him and Him alone. A true living sacrifice of sweet smelling savour, acceptable unto Him.

The verses of this song minister to me wonderfully. It is all I want to say to God to be at my side, to draw me closer to Him, to speak and make me listen, to serve Him till the end and then in heaven receive me, Amen.
