1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
remain 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.
2 O let me hear you 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;
now speak, and make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
3 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you
that where you are in glory,
your servant shall be too;
Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my Friend.
