AYM 44 O Jesus I have promised
Versi Version 1
1
O Jesus, I have promised
To serve you to the end;
Be now for ever 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 will 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 let me hear thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten, or control;
O 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 servants be;
And Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend.
5
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 Savior and my Friend.
