Bode, 1816-1874 Appears in 621 hymnals First Line: O Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end; Be Thou forever near me, my Master and my Friend.

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. Topics: Commitment; Discipleship Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

The Sands of Time Are Sinking

Author: Anne Ross Cousin, 1824-1906 Appears in 314 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morn I've sighed for - The fair, sweet morn awakes: Dark, dark hath been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 2 O Christ, Je is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted More deep I'll drink above: There to an ocean fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land, 3 O I am my Beloved's, And my Beloved's mine! He brings a poor vile sinner, Into His "house of wine," I stand upon His merit - I know no other stand, Not e'en where glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 4 The Bride eyes not her garment But her dear Bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory But on my King of grace. Not at the crown He giveth But on His pierced hand: The Lamb is all the glory Of Immanuel's land. Topics: Heaven and Eternity Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD
