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><verse label="2" type="v"><![CDATA[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><verse label="3" type="v"><![CDATA[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><verse label="4" type="v"><![CDATA[O Jesus, Thou hast promised 
To all who follow Thee 
That where Thou art in glory 
There shall Thy servants be; 
And, Jesus, I have promised 
To serve Thee to the end; 
O give me grace to follow 
My Master and my Friend.]]></verse><verse label="5" type="v"><![CDATA[O let me see Thy footmarks, 
And in them plant mine own; 
My hope to follow duly 
Is in Thy strength alone. 
O guide me, call me, draw me, 
Uphold me to the end; 
And then in heaven receive me, 
My Saviour and my Friend.]]></verse></lyrics></song>
