O Jesus, I have promised

Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816 - 74 Appears in 639 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory 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. A-men. 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 hast 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

If thou but suffer God to guide thee

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Georg Neumark, 1621 - 81 Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, what e'er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the rock that nought can move. 2 What can these anxious cares avail thee, These never-ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help, if thou bewail thee, O'er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press The heavier for our bitterness. 3 Only be still, and await his leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate'er your Father's pleasure And all discerning love have sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To him who chose us for his own. 4 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving; In all thy labor faithful be, And trust his word; though undeserving, Thou yet shalt find it true for thee: God never will forsake in need The soul that trusts in him indeed.

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Appears in 966 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day his clear voice soundeth, Saying, 'Christian, follow me!' 2 As of St. Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home and toil and kindred, Leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep us, Saying, 'Christian, love me more.' A-men. 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 'Christian, love me more than these.' 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear thy call, Give our hearts to thine obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Amen. Used With Tune: GALILEE

Jesus, Saviour, pilot me

Author: Edward Hopper, 1818 - 88 Appears in 1,227 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treacherous shoal; Chart and compass came from thee, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey thy will When thou sayest to them, 'Be still.' Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. A-men. 3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on thy breast, May I hear thee say to me, 'Fear not, I will pilot thee.' Amen. Used With Tune: PILOT

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783 - 1826 Appears in 849 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain: His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in his train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky And called on him to save; Like him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? A-men. 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Amen. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS NEW
