Author: John E. Bode, 1816-1874 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 637 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 19 (Year B) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised To serve you to the end; Remain forever 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 Oh, 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, then draw nearer To shield my soul from sin. 3 Oh, let me hear you speaking In accents clear and still Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will. Now speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; Now speak and 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 servant shall be too. And Jesus, I have promised To serve you to the end; Oh, give me grace to follow, My master and my friend. Used With Tune: MUNICH

In peace that only you can give; With you, O Master, let me live. Used With Tune: MARYTON
