Hymn 631 – O Jesus I have promised | C&S English Hymnary

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 tear the battle If thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway lf thou will be my Guide. 2. Oh let me feel Thee near me; The world is ever drear; 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. Oh let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will; Oh speak to reassure me To hasten, or control; Oh 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! Oh give me grace to follow, My Master tind my Friend. 5. Oh let me see Thy footmarks And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone, Oh guide me, call me,draw me, Uphold me to the end; And then in heaven receive me, My Saviour and my Friend AMEN
