O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: J. E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 621 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:25 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 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!

My Dear Redeemer and My Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 573 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:21-22 Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer and my Lord,
I read my duty in your Word;
but in your life the law appears,
drawn out in living characters.
2 Such was your truth, and such your zeal,
such def'rence to your Father's will,
such love, and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe and make them mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
witnessed the fervor of your prayer;
the desert your temptations knew,
your conflict and your vict'ry too.
4 Be thou my pattern; make me bear
more of your gracious image here;
then God the Judge shall own my name
amongst the foll'wers of the Lamb.

My Dear Redeemer and My Lord
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:19-25 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the cross of Christ, my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down;
did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Discipleship; Holy Week (Good Friday); Praise of God; Sunday of the Passion Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
There is a green hill far away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 695 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:23-24 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
outside a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified,
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell
what pains he had to bear;
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven, and let us in.
5 Oh, dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday Used With Tune: HORSLEY

Thy pow'r, and Thine alone,

And melt the heart of stone. [Refrain]

Whereby Thy grace to claim;

In the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb. [Refrain]

I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save,"
My lips shall still repeat. [Refrain]

O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb (1819-1885) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Creed Used With Tune: EISENACH (LEIPZIG) Text Sources: Latin, 15th century
