O Jesus, I have promised

Author: Rev. John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 632 hymnals Topics: Christ Presence, His Living 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! Amen. Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

Fairest Lord Jesus

And didst Thou love the race that loved not Thee?

Author: Jean Ingelow (1820-1897) Meter: 10.10.10.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Christ Presence, His Living Lyrics: 1 And didst Thou love the race that loved not Thee? And didst Thou take to Heaven a human brow? Dost plead with man’s voice by the marvelous sea? Art Thou his kinsman now? 2 O God, O Kinsman loved, but not enough; O Man, with eyes majestic after death, Whose feet have toiled along our pathways rough, Whose lips drawn human breath: 3 By that one likeness which is ours and Thine, By that one nature which doth hold us kin, By that high Heaven where, sinless, Thou dost shine To draw us sinners in; 4 By Thy last silence in the judgment hall, By long foreknowledge of the deadly Tree, By darkness, by the wormwood and the gall, I pray Thee visit me. 5 Come, lest this heart should, cold and cast away, Die ere the Guest adored she entertain— Lest eyes which never saw Thine earthly day Should miss Thy heavenly reign. Amen. Used With Tune: TEMPLE BRYAN

No wealth have we to offer, For all Thy love imparts, But that which Thou desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts. Chorus: Best of all Thy blessings, To earth the Saviour came, That we may rise and win the prize, Of endless life with Him. 3 Shall we not give for others, As God to us has giv'n, Own all mankind as brothers, And help them on to heav'n?

O Holy City, Seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Living Christ Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John, Where Christ, the Lamb, does reign, Within whose foursquare walls shall come No night, nor need, nor pain, And where the tears are wiped from eyes That shall not weep again! 2 O shame to us who rest content While lust and greed for gain. In street and shop and tenement Wring gold from human pain, And bitter lips in blind despair Cry “Christ has died in vain!” 3 Give us, O God, the strength to build The city that hath stood Too long a dream, whose laws are love, Whose ways are servant-hood, And where the sun that shines becomes God’s grace for human good. 4 Already in the mind of God That city rises fair. Lo, how its splendor challenges The souls that greatly dare, And bids us seize the whole of life And build its glory there. Scripture: Revelation 21 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG
