O God eternal, sovereign Lord
O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 619 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:32 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 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!

O God, in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,127 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:49-53 Lyrics: 1 O God, in a mysterious way
great wonders you perform.
You plant your footsteps in the sea
and ride upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never-failing skill,
you treasure up your bright designs
and work your sovereign will.
3 O fearful saints, fresh courage take.
The clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 Our unbelief is sure to err
and scan your work in vain.
You are your own interpreter,
and you will make it plain.

kindle a flame of sacred love
on the mean altar of my heart!

with inextinguishable blaze,
and trembling to its source return
in humble prayer and fervent praise.

to work, and speak, and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire,
and still stir up the gift in me.

till death thy endless mercies seal,

O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe
Author: Jacob Fabricius, 1593-1654; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 106 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:32 Lyrics: 1 O little flock, fear not the foe
Who madly seeks your overthrow;
Dread not his rage and pow'r.
And though your courage sometimes faints,
His seeming triumph o'er God's saints
Lasts but a little hour.
2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs
To Him who can avenge your wrongs;
Leave it to Him, our Lord.
Though hidden yet from mortal eyes,
His Gideon shall for you arise,
Uphold you and His Word.
3 As true as God's own Word is true,
Not earth nor hell's satanic crew
Against us shall prevail.
Their might? A joke, a mere facade!
God is with us and we with God—
Our vict'ry cannot fail.
4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our prayer;
Great Captain, now Thine arm make bare,
Fight for us once again!
So shall Thy saints and martyrs raise
A mighty chorus to Thy praise
Forevermore. Amen.

It is only a step to the grave.
Refrain:
It is only a step to the grave,
It is only a step to the grave;
O sinner, awake, your soul is at stake,
And it’s only a step to the grave.

For there’s only a step to the grave;
Your life at the longest is only a span,
And there’s only a step to the grave. [Refrain]

It is only a step to the grave;
The door may soon close that’s inviting you in,
For there’s only a step to the grave. [Refrain]

For it’s only a step to the grave;
Repent, or you’ll miss that bright haven so fair,
For it’s only a step to the grave.
