O Jesus, I have promised

Author: J. E. Bode, 1816-1874 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #457 (1917) Lyrics: 1 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. 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. 5 O let me see Thy footmarks, And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy 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.
