O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John Ernest Bode (1816-1874) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 621 hymnals Scripture: John 21:1-19 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,
not 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 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.
4 O let me see thy footmarks
and in them plant mine own:
my hope to follow duly
is in thy strength alone.
O guide me, call me, draw me,
uphold me to the end;
and then in heaven receive me,
my Saviour and my Friend. Topics: Call and Vocation; Discipleship; Guidance Used With Tune: WOLVERCOTE

the stumbling and the straying feet;

your hungry ones with manna sweet.

the precious things which you impart;
and wing my words, that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.
4 O fill me with your fullness, Lord,
until my heart shall overflow
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show.

'Take up thy cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest, 1814-77 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15-25 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up
and brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
your Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only they who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Good Friday; Holy Week; Passion Sunday Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, MEINS LEBENS LICHT

My gracious Redeemer I love
Author: B. Francis Appears in 199 hymnals Scripture: John 21:17 Lyrics: 1 My gracious Redeemer I love;
His praises aloud I’ll proclaim,
And join with the armies above,
To shout his adorable name.
To gaze on his glories divine
Shall be my eternal employ;
And feel them incessantly shine,
My boundless, ineffable joy.
2 He freely redeemed with his blood
My soul from the confines of hell,
To live on the smiles of my God,
And in his sweet presence to dwell;
To shine with the angels of light,
With saints and with seraphs to sing;
To view with eternal delight
My Jesus, my Saviour, my King.
3 In Meshech, as yet, I reside,
A darksome and restless abode:
Molested with foes on each side,
And longing to dwell with my God.
O when shall my spirit exchange
This cell of corruptible clay
For mansions celestial, and range
Through realms of ineffable day?
4 My glorious Redeemer! I long
To see thee descend on the cloud,
Amidst the bright numberless throng,
And mix with the triumphing crowd.
O when wilt thou bid me ascend,
To join in thy praises above,
To gaze on thee, world without end,
And feast on thy ravishing love?
5 No sorrow, nor sickness, nor pain,
Nor sin, nor temptation, nor fear,
Shall ever molest me again;
Perfection of glory reigns there.
This soul and this body shall shine
In robes of salvation and praise,
And banquet on pleasures divine,
Where God his full beauty displays.
6 Ye palaces, sceptres, and crowns,
Your pride with disdain I survey;
Your pomps are but shadows and sounds,
And pass in a moment away.
The crown that my Saviour bestows,
Yon permanent sun shall outshine;
My joy everlastingly flows;
My God, my Redeemer, is mine!

Thine be the glory
Father of mercies in thy house
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15-17 Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies in thy house,
Smile on our homage, and our vows;
While with a grateful heart we share
These pledges of our Saviour's care.
2 The Saviour, when to heav'n he rose
In splendid triumph o'er his foes
Scatter'd his gifts on men below,
And wide his royal bounties flow.
3 Hence sprung th'Apostles' honour'd name,
Sacred beyond heroic fame;
In lowlier form to bless our eyes,
Pastors from hence, and Teachers rise.
4 From Christ their varied gifts derive,
And fed by Christ their graces live;
While guarded by his potent hand,
'Midst all the rage of hell they stand.
5 So shall the bright succession run
Through the last courses of the sun;
While unborn churches by their care
Shall rise and flourish large and fair.
6 Jesus our Lord their hearts shall know,
The spring, whence all these blessing flow;
Pastors and people shout his praise
Through the long round of endless days. Topics: Ordaining of Priests &c.
