392 – 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 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.
