1. 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. 2. O 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. 3. 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; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend.
