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
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.
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,

And shield my soul from sin.

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.
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.
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.
Oh, guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end;
And then to rest receive me,
My Savior and my Friend.

Wonderful lyrics.

"I see the sights that dazzle; the tempting sounds I hear... But Jesus draw thou nearer & shield my soul from sin" Simply powerful.

I was going through something, when I came across where Grace is mentioned, then the Hymn came in my mind, thank You Lord for GRACE.
Ado Ekiti, Ekiti, Nigeria
Amen
Lagos, Nigeria
Feel so blessed... this song is my prayer... Father let me hear you in accent clear and still, above the murmur of self will in Jesus Name, Amen.
Nairobi, Kenya
Such lovely words.

God bless you for the the text. Please revert to verse 5, second to the last line as there’s an error there. Where you have “rest”, it’s supposed to be Heaven. Thank you once again.
Uwani, Enugu, Nigeria
I got this in my spirit and I had to search the words and immediately after singing, I bursted into tongues
Dutse, Jigawa, Nigeria
As I sang this hymn while the Sunday service was going on I felt His presence, as I want God to keep speaking to me in accent clear and still and let Him show me His footmarks so that I can be guided to place mine where He places His footmarks. Thank You for Thy mercy, my master and my friend.
Atherstone, England, United Kingdom
I was awake in the night singing this song in my spirit so I purposed in my heart to check all the words this morning. God is speaking.
