O Jesus I Have Promised
Verse 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


Verse 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


Verse 3
O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still
Above the storms of passion
The murmurs of self will


O speak to reassure me
To hasten or control
O speak and make me listen
Thou guardian of my soul


Verse 4
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
