- 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.
... - Oh, 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.
... - Oh, let me hear Thee speaking,
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
Oh, speak to reassure me,
To hasten, or control;
Oh, speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.
... - 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;
Oh, give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend.
... - Oh, let me see Thy footmarks,
And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly
Is in Thy strength alone.
Oh, guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end;
And then to rest receive me,
My Savior and my Friend.

Pst. Dr. Paul Enenche sang this song yesterday and it reminds me of the good old deeper life days when we use to sing this song very well, I really love this song then, so much as to learn it by it, this song really commune the true yearning of a true believer.
It starts with a promise to stay true with God through and to the end.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Please Lord let me hear your word: this part calls for a deep reflection of the Word and on the Word, God doesn't speak outside His Word, so if you want to hear Him, study His Word. To hear Him clearly, you have to learn from Him and study His direction which is clearly written in the scriptures.
O let me hear thee speaking in accent clear and still.
