O Jesus, I Have Promised

Lyrics: J E Bode (Alt)
Tune: Angel's Song (Mann)




O Jesus, I have promised
to serve You to the end;
be now and ever near me,
my Master and my Friend:
I shall not fear the battle
if You are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if You will be my Guide.

O let me feel You 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 still nearer
and shield my soul from sin!

O let me hear You speaking
with words that calm and still;
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will:
O speak to reassure me,
to comfort or control;
and speak to make me listen,
O Guardian of my soul.

O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow You,
that where You are in glory
Your servant shall be too;
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
O give me grace to follow
my Master and my Friend.

O let me see Your footprints
and in them place my own;
my hope to follow truly
is in Your 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.
