O Jesus, I have promised

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
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
O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still
Above the storms of passion
The murmurs of self-will
O speak to reassure me
To hasten or control
O 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
O give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend
