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.

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.
And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly

Uphold me to the end;
And then to rest receive me,
My Savior and my Friend.

This song came to me this morning. It is my prayer of dedicating my life over and over to God. He enables me to will and to do for His good pleasure. Glory to Jesus our Lord.

Just lost my little sister to an addiction. This hymn reminds me how much I have always believed in God and pray he is keeping her safe in heaven.

I woke up this morning with this song in spirit. I looked up on this site for words of the whole song and sang it. I knew that God, the Holy Spirit was speaking to me. I am making a new commitment today, to follow Him. He is also assuring me His best. Is He not a good God and Father? Love lots my God.
