288 ~ O Jesus, I Have Promised

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.
