O Jesus I have promised
to serve you to the end
Be forever near me
My Master and my friend
I shall not fear the battle if you are by my side
Nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide
O let me feel you 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 nearer
And shield my soul from sin.
