Author: John Ernest Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 618 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48:14 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, 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 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 servant be. And, Jesus, I have promised to serve thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, my Master and my friend.

The Lord, the only God, is great

Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48 Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the only God, is great, and greatly to be prais'd In Sion, on whose happy Mount his sacred Throne is rais'd. 2 Her Tow'rs, the Joy of all the Earth with beauteous Prospect rise; On her North-Side th' Almighty King's Imperial City lies. 3 God in her Palaces is known: His Presence is her guard: 4 Confed'rate Kings withdrew their Siege, and of Success despair'd. 5 They view'd her Walls, admir'd, and fled, with Grief and Terror struck; 6 Like Women whom the sudden Pangs of Travail had o'ertook. 7 No wretched Crew of Mariners appear like them forlorn, When Fleets from Tarshish' wealthy Coasts by Eastern Winds are torn. 8 In Sion we have seen perform'd a Work that was foretold, In Pledge that God, for Times to come, His City will uphold. 9 Not in our Fortresses and Walls did we, O God, confide; But on the Temple fix'd our Hopes, in which thou dost reside. 10 According to thy Sov'reign Name, thy Praise thro' Earth extends; Thy pow'rful Arm, as Justice guides, chastises, or defends. 11 Let Sion's Mount with Joy resound, her Daughters all be taught, In Songs his Judgments to extol, who this Deliv'rance wrought. 12 Compass her Walls in solemn Pomp; your Eyes quite round her cast; Count all her Tow'rs, and see if there you find one Stone displac'd. 13 Her Forts and Palaces survey; observe their Order well; That, with Assurance, to your Heirs this Wonder you may tell. 14 This God is ours, and will be ours, whilst we in Him confide; Who, as He has preserv'd us now, till Death will be our Guide.
