O Jesus, I Have Promised

Author: John Ernest Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 639 hymnals Topics: Lent 2 Year B Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end; remain for ever near me, my Saviour and my friend: I shall not fear the journey if you are by my side, not 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, then draw 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; 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: O give me grace to follow, my Saviour and my friend. Used With Tune: DAY OF REST

O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. Used With Tune: AURELIA

Yet your sinless death has brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what your grace has taught us Calms the sinner's deep distress. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for you; May our eyes be ever turning To behold your cross anew; Till in glory, parted never From the blessed Savior's side, Graven in our hearts forever, Dwell the cross, the Crucified.
