|
<p>O Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end;<br>
|
|
Be Thou forever near me, my Master and my Friend;<br>
|
|
I shall not fear the battle if Thou art by my side,<br>
|
|
Nor wander from the pathway if Thou wilt be my Guide.</p>
|
|
<p>O let me feel Thee near me! The world is ever near;<br>
|
|
I see the sights that dazzle, the tempting sounds I hear;<br>
|
|
My foes are ever near me, around me and within;<br>
|
|
But Jesus, draw Thou nearer, and shield my soul from sin.</p>
|
|
<p>O let me hear Thee speaking in accents clear and still,<br>
|
|
Above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self will.<br>
|
|
O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control;<br>
|
|
O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul.</p>
|
|
<p>O Jesus, Thou hast promised to all who follow Thee<br>
|
|
That where Thou art in glory there shall Thy servant be.<br>
|
|
And Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end;<br>
|
|
O give me grace to follow, my Master and my Friend.</p>
|
|
<p>O let me see Thy footprints, and in them plant mine own;<br>
|
|
My hope to follow duly is in Thy strength alone.<br>
|
|
O guide me, call me, draw me, uphold me to the end;<br>
|
|
And then in Heaven receive me, my Savior and my Friend.</p>
