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;

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.
To all who follow Thee

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.

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 I awoke this morning, the words of this hymn were on my heart and mind. What a wonderful confirmation of God's faithfulness and reminder of my commitment.
This website enabled me to review and refresh in my mind the whole hymn.

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.

John & I plan to sing this song at our 50th Wedding Anniversary on June 16th, 2012. We sang this song in our wedding ceremony 50 years ago. It was a commitment to serve our God as a minister and his wife to the end. He has given us the grace to follow Him througout our 50 years together.

This hymn was included our church service this weekend and I want to share it with my friends. With so many troubles in this country and abroad, it is good to have something simple to fall back upon when you are anxious or stressed! Please link to this page and listen -- read the words -- may they bring peace to you as they have me. Yours in Christ -- Sharon

I am planning on being a missionary to the Hausa of Nigeria. This song reminds me especially in the hard times of my life that "O Jesus, I Have Promised" to serve thee wherever I am and in the future as a missionary to Nigeria.
