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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

I like the song, but that's not the original tune
Abuja, FCT, Nigeria
The lyrics of this hymn are too deep. My best hymn for always.
Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
I also remember singing this as a child, I remember meaning every word, now 65 years later, I still do. I have staggered at times and fallen on my face often but Jesus has held me in his hands and picked me up even when I didn't want to go on. I see now he never let me go and I know he never will. Praise the Lord.
Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
I used to sing this song in my school days but I never really appreciated the benefits derivable from it.
Today, I overhead a nearby Church sing it and had to Google the lyrics.
I have sang all through and I feel reconnected to my Creator. The wordings are exceptionally helpful in drawing me nearer to God.
I'll make it my daily song, particularly when I'm faced with the woes of life.
To God be the glory!
Kaduna, Nigeria
A soulful song. Helps to refocus one when issues of life tries to shift you from service to the Lord.

It really expresses my heart desires.
Thank God for the hymn.

This hymn has been with me all week, but I couldn't remember all the words so had to look them up. There is so much reality and power in these words that I want to sing it each morning to start my day. Praise the Lord!

Today I woke up singing this hymn until I had to google the lyrics and sing it whole before I did my devotion.
"Oh Jesus I have have promised to serve you till the end."❤🙏
