O Jesus, I Have Promised

Author: John Ernest Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 628 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend. Scripture: John 12:26 Used With Tune: NYLAND

Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Redeemed, restored, forgiven Through Jesus' precious blood, Heirs of His home in heaven Oh, praise our pard'ning God! Praise Him in tuneful measures Who gave His Son to die; Praise Him whose sev'nfold treasures Enrich and sanctify. 2 Once on the dreary mountain We wandered far and wide, Far from the cleansing fountain, Far from the pierced side. But Jesus sought and found us; Our many sins He bore. With cords of love He bound us To Him forevermore. 3 Dear Master, Yours the glory Of each recovered soul. Ah, who can tell the story Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; To You alone the praise! Give us a thankful spirit To serve You all our days. 4 Now keep us, holy Savior, In Your true love and fear, And grant us by Your favor The grace to persevere Till, in Your new creation, Our earthly troubles o'er, Heirs of Your free salvation, We praise You evermore.
