331- O Jesus I Have Promised
Gospel: Consecration
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
- 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.
