O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 631 hymnals Scripture: John 12:26 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and ever near me,
my Master and my Friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor 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, draw still 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;
and speak to 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 servants shall be too.
O guide me, call me, draw me,
uphold me to the end,
when you in glory take me,
my Savior and my Friend.

When Christ Was Lifted from the Earth
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: When Christ was lifted from the earth Lyrics: 1. When Christ was lifted from the earth
His arms stretched out above
Thro' ev'ry culture, ev'ry birth,
To draw an answering love.
2. Still east and west His love extends
And always, near or far,
He calls and claims us as His friends
And loves us as we are.
3. Where generation, class or race
Divides us to our shame,
He sees not labels but a face,
A person and a name.
4. Thus feely loved, tho' fully known,
May I in Christ be free
To welcome and accept His own
As Christ accepted me.

When Christ Was Lifted from the Earth
We Would See Jesus; Lo! His Star is Shining
Author: J. Edgar Park Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: John 12:21 Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; lo! his star is shining,
above the stable while the angels sing;
in manger humble on the hay reclining,
haste, let us lay our gifts before the King.
2 We would see Jesus; Mary's son most holy,
Light of the village life from day to day;
shines revealed through ev'ry task most lowly,
the Christ of God, the Life, the Truth, the Way.
3 We would see Jesus; on the mountain teaching,
with all the list'ning people gathered round;
while birds and flow'rs and sky above are preaching
the blessedness which simple trust has found.
4 We would see Jesus; in his work of healing,
that joyful evening when the sun was set;
divine and human, in his deep revealing
of God made flesh, in loving service meet.
5 We would see Jesus; in the early morning,
still, as of old he calleth, "Follow me";
let us arise, all meaner service scorning;
Lord, we are thine; we give ourselves to thee.

The Attraction of the Cross
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: Yonder — amazing Sight! — I see Lyrics: 1 Yonder — amazing Sight! — I see
Th' incarnate Son of GOD,
Expiring on the accursed tree,
And welt'ring in his blood.
2 Behold a purple torrent run
Down from his hands and head:
The crimson tide puts out the sun;
His groans awake the dead.
3 The trembling earth, the darken'd sky,
Proclaim the truth aloud!
And with th' amaz'd centurion cry,
"This is the son of God."
4 So great, so vast a sacrifice,
May well my hope revive:
If GOD's own Son thus bleeds and dies,
The sinner sure may live.
5 O that these cords of love divine,
Might draw me, Lord to thee,
Thou hast my heart, it shall be thine —
Thine it shall ever be!
