Author: John E. Bode Hymnal: Praise and Worship #42 (1951) 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 Oh, 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 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 the to the end.
Oh, give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend. Topics: Assurance Languages: English Tune Title: [O Jesus, I have promised]
