O Jesus, I Have Promised

Author: John Ernest Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 637 hymnals Topics: Trusting in the Promises of God Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end; be now and always 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; O speak, and make me listen, true 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; now give me grace to follow, my Master and my friend. Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:10 Used With Tune: NYLAND

God is the refuge of His saints

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 465 hymnals Topics: Promises of God Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of His saints, When storms of sharp distress invade; Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold Him present with His aid! 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Down to the deep, and buried there, Convulsions shake the solid world, Our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar; In sacred peace our souls abide; While every nation, every shore, Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide. 4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God; Life, love, and joy still gliding through, And watering our divine abode. 5 That sacred stream, Thy living word, Thus all our anxious fear controls; Sweet peace Thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls. 6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, Secure against the threatening hour; Nor can her firm foundation move, Built on His faithfulness and power.
