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;

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;
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.

My wife taught me this hymn and it stuck from the very first time. I must confess that it's eminently pleasant to sing every morning as it acts as the renewal of my vow to serve God every second of my life. Thank You Jesus!

I couldn't sleep had so much on my mind - this hymn just came into my head I haven't sung this song for over 45 years, oh how the Holy Spirit leads us. It's 1.30am I couldn't rest until I read all the words so I looked it up - wow I'm in awe with all the comments I have read.
I love You Jesus - yes till the end with Your strength.

This hymn inspires me every time my heart reflects on it. Now I know I shall not fear the battle if the Lord is by my side. God bless the writer.

What a sweet memory! Has been my favorite hymn back then in my secondary school days when I didn't even understand the meaning. God be praised.
