"O Jesus, I have promised to serve thee to the end:
be thou for ever 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.
O let me hear the 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.
O Jesus, thou has 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,
O give me grace to follow, my Master and my friend."
