 (FIRST TUNE) DAY OF REST. (7 6. 7 6. D.)

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.

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. 250
