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. |

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.

When John Bode served the parish at Castle Camps, near Cambridge, England, in the middle of the 19th century, he had the privilege of officiating at the confirmation of his daughter and 2 sons. This hymn was written specifically for this occasion, and originally the 1st line was, "O Jesus, we have promised" because all 3 children were making this dedication of themselves to the Lord. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton

After reaching workplace and making a cup of tea, this song came into my mind and I started humming thinking of my good old days at school. Since I forgot the lyrics I seached Internet and here I am with this beautiful word that blesses me. Thanks a lot for whoever put this song on the net for simple page flip. Remember God takes cares of everybody both good and bad. Thank You Almighty God. God Bless everyone. Amen.

This old hymn came to mind today. I remember sing this in Sunday School, many years ago. I thought I'd look it up on the internet and found this. So happy I did. The words are so perfect for everyone's life. Praise God!

We were making giving pledges in church for 2013 and this is a perfect one to tell God what we are promising. May God help us fulfill our vows as a church and as individuals. Amen.
