O Jesus, I Have Promised

Author: John E. Bode Appears in 632 hymnals Topics: Aspiration 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. 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. Used With Tune: [O Jesus, I have promised]

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Aspiration and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; Wean it from earth, thro' all its pulses move; Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 2 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King? All, all Thine own - soul, heart, and strength, and mind! I see Thy cross - there teach my heart to cling; O let me seek Thee, and O let me find! 3 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 4 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame; The baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove - My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame. (optional choral ending) Amen, amen, amen, amen. Used With Tune: MORECAMBE
