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.
In accents clear and still,

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.
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.

I remember, just like it was yesterday, kneeling by the side of the river, where I was baptized. My tear filled eyes glowed with joy unspeakable, knowing that whatever things betide, I'll never walk alone.

I fell in love with this hymn the very first time I heard it. I remember an overwhelming feeling sweeping through me. 14years later it still fills my eyes with tears...I shall not fear the battle if Thou art by my side. Nothing calms my soul quite like this reassuring hymn does.

I remember that particular night when the devil came with his devices, oh how glorious it is to have Jesus as the guardian of your soul. I woke up with this song with tears of joy and assurance that Jesus is the guardian of my soul. Hoiw comforting that could be. Thank you Jesus, I will serve the to the end.no matter what come against me, I know with you on my side nothing, absolutely nothing can take me out of thy hand. I love you Lord.

A very refreshing hymn.
Lord, let me see thy footmarks,
And in them plant mine own.
Help me walk with thee to the end my Savior and my Friend.

Singing this song recently, the discernment that Jesus, the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, Holy of Holies, is the Guardian of my soul got me so profoundly humbled. And then the truth of the opposite scenario hit me: what a terrifying jungle it must be to have Satan as the guardian of one's unsaved soul!
I love You Lord, Amen. Be my keeper for ever.
