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

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.

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.

There shall Thy servant be;

Oh, give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend.

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.

After reaching workplace and making a cup of tea, this song came into my mind and I started humming thinking of my good old days at school. Since I forgot the lyrics I seached Internet and here I am with this beautiful word that blesses me. Thanks a lot for whoever put this song on the net for simple page flip. Remember God takes cares of everybody both good and bad. Thank You Almighty God. God Bless everyone. Amen.

We were making giving pledges in church for 2013 and this is a perfect one to tell God what we are promising. May God help us fulfill our vows as a church and as individuals. Amen.

On reading a friend's sermon this morning it led me to search out this hymn and really listen. I was then reminded of the beauty and simplicity (despite the challenges) of what I am called to. Thanks be to God for faithful friends who in small things can provide such encouragement on the journey.
