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. |

On reading a friend's sermon this morning it led me to search out this hymn and really listen. I was then reminded of the beauty and simplicity (despite the challenges) of what I am called to. Thanks be to God for faithful friends who in small things can provide such encouragement on the journey.

I was doing my morning devotion when the song came across my mind, I quickly searched on the internet and found this.
Thanks for making this available, may God reward you richly.
By the way a lot of Nigerians use this website, that's quite commendable.

This morning the lyrics of a hymn, "O Jesus I Have Promised," came to mind as I was waking up. More than that, understanding the Lord's goodness and mercy to me, I consecrate this day and my life in service to Him!!!

As if someone had been singing this hymn inside of me. Not knowing all of the line perfectly, I had to check it out, only to find God expressing exactly what I feel, the way I feel it. God bless those ancient hands that wrote it. Wonderful. Oh yes. It's been a blessing.

I just discovered this site today. I wsh to express my happiness that there are children of God who are sincerely concerned about spiritual things in these days when, all over the world, people are preoccupied with the world and its affairs.
