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.

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;

I'm at work at the moment then this song came into mind. When I was a kid in Ghana my late parents used to have morning devotion and this is one of the we used to sing. I m now 60 years and these prayers we used to have has help me all through life and I have also passed it on to my children. Trust In The Lord and He will never fail you. Shalom.

I was at CMS Grammar School Lagos in the 70's, and this back then was one of our favoured songs. I woke up this morning singing it right from my soul. Bless You LORD.

I awoke in the night in deep anxiety and fear. I prayed. I awoke again with this song in my heart. JOY! Thank You Jesus, I'll sing with You Lord.

I learnt this sweet song when I was a little girl, let me say around 14 years old. Any time I sing this song, I imagine myself resting my head on the Lord's shoulder making a promise to serve Him until the end. Dear Lord, Pls held me to keep this promised. Amen.

I learnt the song when I was at high school, in the 1990s, it was amongst the favourite songs of my school head but as I matured I realised it carried a strong message to soldier on in Christianity despite the spiritual battles which we face as Christians. I really revives my soul and spirit in Jesus name.
