{Verse 1}
D                A
O Jesus, I have promised
    G                 D
To serve Thee to the end;
                 Bm
Be Thou forever near me,
    G      D       A
My Master and my Friend;
   D                 G   D
I shall not fear the battle
    Bm             G
If Thou art by my side,
     D               D A
Nor wander from the pathway
      Em        A7     D
If Thou wilt be my Guide.
 
 
{Verse 2}
D                    A
Oh, let me feel Thee near me;
       G           D
The world is ever near;
                      Bm
I see the sights that dazzle,
      G      D         A
The tempting sounds I hear;
   D              G   D
My foes are ever near me,
     Bm             G
Around me and within;
      D               D A
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
      Em        A7      D
And shield my soul from sin.
 
 
{Verse 3}
D                     A
Oh, let me hear Thee speaking,
    G                 D
In accents clear and still,
                      Bm
Above the storms of passion,
    G       D         A
The murmurs of self-will;
    D            G    D
Oh. speak to reassure me,
     Bm          G
To hasten, or control;
      D                D A
Oh, speak, and make me listen,
     Em        A7      D
Thou Guardian of my soul.

To all who follow Thee

That where Thou art in glory
      G          D      A
There shall Thy servant be;
    D              G    D
And Jesus, I have promised

To serve Thee to the end;

My Master and my Friend.

D                     A
Oh, let me see Thy footmarks,
    G              D
And in them plant mine own;
                   Bm
My hope to follow duly
    G        D      A
Is in Thy strength alone.
    D                  G    D
Oh, guide me, call me, draw me,
  Bm              G
Uphold me to the end;
      D                D A
And then to rest receive me,
     Em    A7      D
My Savior and my Friend.
