O Jesus, I Have Promised

Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 633 hymnals Topics: Ordination 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. Scripture: Luke 12:32 Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

How beauteous are their feet

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 715 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill; Who bring salvation in their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How cheering is their voice, How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How blessed are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heavenly light! Prophets and kings desired long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Saviour and their God. Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS (II)

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Appears in 1,326 hymnals Topics: The Church Her Ordinances and Offices Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are all my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmix'd with Thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear: Think what Spirit dwells within Thee, What a Father's smile is thine: What a Saviour died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste then on from grace to glory, Arm'd by faith, and wing'd by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Used With Tune: DEERHURST

[Refrain] 4 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain: Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. [Refrain] 5 Onward, then, ye faithful; Join the happy throng; Blend with ours your voices, In the triumph-song: Glory, laud, and honor, Unto Christ the King; This through countless ages Men and angels sing.

The Church's one foundation

Appears in 885 hymnals Topics: The Church Her Ordinances and Offices Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the word: From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth; One Holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest; Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: AURELIA
