O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816-1874 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 617 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:1 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou for ever near me,
my Saviour and my friend:
I shall not fear the struggle
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 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 Saviour and my friend.

Great God, we sing that mighty hand
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-51 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 490 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31 Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
by which supported still we stand;
the opening year your mercy shows,
and mercy crowns it at its close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
still we are guarded by our God;
by his incessant bounty fed,
by his unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
the future, all to us unknown,
we to your guardian care commit,
and peaceful leave before your feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
you are our joy and you our rest;
your goodness all our hopes shall raise,
adored through all our changing days.

who through life has been my guide?

here by faith in him to dwell;
for I know, whate’er befall me
Jesus doeth all things well.
2 All the way my Saviour leads me,
cheers each winding path I tread,
gives me grace for every trial,
feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
and my soul athirst may be,
gushing from the rock before me
lo, a spring of joy I see.
3 All the way my Saviour leads me,
oh the fullness of his love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
in my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
wings its flight to realms of day,
this my song through endless ages,

Holy God, We Praise Thy Name
Author: Clarence A. Walworth, 1820-1900 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 202 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:1-4 Lyrics: 1 Holy God, we praise Thy name;
Lord of all, we bow before Thee.
All on earth Thy scepter claim,
All in heav'n above adore Thee.
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.
2 Hark! the glad celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heav'ns with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
3 Lo, th'apostles' holy train
Join Thy sacred name to hallow;
Prophets swell the glad refrain,
And the white-robed martyrs follow,
And from morn to set of sun
Through the Church the song goes on.
4 Thou art King of glory, Christ;
Son of God, yet born of Mary.
For us sinners sacrificed,
As to death a Tributary,
First to break the bars of death,
Thou hast opened heav'n to faith.
5 Holy Father, holy Son,
Holy Spirit, three we name Thee;
Though in essence only one,
Undivided God we claim Thee
And, adoring, bend the knee
While we own the mystery.

Holy God, We Praise Thy Name
Sing praise to God who reigns above

the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation;
with healing balm my soul he fills,
and every grief he gently stills:
to God all praise and glory!
2 What God's almighty power has made
that will he ever cherish,
and will, unfailing, soon and late,
with lovingkindness nourish;
and where he rules in kingly might
there all is just and all is right:
to God all praise and glory!
3 The Lord is never far away,
but, through all grief distressing,
an ever present help and stay,
our peace, and joy, and blessing;
as with a mother's tender hand
he leads his own, his chosen band:
to God all praise and glory!
4 Come, you that name Christ's holy name,
give God all praise and glory;
and all who own his power, proclaim
aloud the wondrous story.
Cast each false idol from its throne,
the Lord is God, and he alone:
to God all praise and glory!
5 So come before his countenance
and leap in exultation;
now gladly pay your due of praise
in joyful celebration.
Take courage in the Lord, my heart;
refreshed in him, play your full part;
to God all praise and glory!
