O Jesus, I Have Promised

Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 630 hymnals Scripture: John 12:26 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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! 3 O let me hear you 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; and speak to make me listen, O Guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, you have promised to all who follow you that where you are in glory your servants shall be too. O guide me, call me, draw me, uphold me to the end, when you in glory take me, my Savior and my Friend.

The Attraction of the Cross

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: Yonder — amazing Sight! — I see Lyrics: 1 Yonder — amazing Sight! — I see Th' incarnate Son of GOD, Expiring on the accursed tree, And welt'ring in his blood. 2 Behold a purple torrent run Down from his hands and head: The crimson tide puts out the sun; His groans awake the dead. 3 The trembling earth, the darken'd sky, Proclaim the truth aloud! And with th' amaz'd centurion cry, "This is the son of God." 4 So great, so vast a sacrifice, May well my hope revive: If GOD's own Son thus bleeds and dies, The sinner sure may live. 5 O that these cords of love divine, Might draw me, Lord to thee, Thou hast my heart, it shall be thine — Thine it shall ever be!
