O Jesus, I Have Promised

Author: John E Bode, 1816-1874 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #472 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Tune Title: ANGEL'S STORY 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. AMEN. Topics: Consecration Languages: English

Be It According to Thy Word

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #400 (1999) Meter: 8.8.6 D Tune Title: ARIEL Lyrics: 1 Be it according to Thy word, Merciful unto all, O Lord. Be merciful to me: Avert the wrath I deprecate, Nor crush me with Thy judgments weight, Who would return to Thee, Who would return to Thee. 2 Thy wrath shall not forever last, If pained at my pollutions past, I groan to be made clean: And lo, I now with grief confess My inward parts are wickedness. And all my life is sin, And all my life is sin. 3 I have mine idols multiplied, Before the shrine of self and pride With vile devotion fell; Followed where'er the tempter led, And by each beastly, devilish deed Debased my soul to hell, Debased my soul to hell. 4 My heart was hardened from Thy fear, Thy warning voice I would not hear. But cast Thy words behind: Yet for my Saviour's sake forgive; And in Thy mercy's arms receive Our whole apostate kind, Our whole apostate kind. AMEN. Topics: The Call to Salvation Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #438 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ARLINGTON Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thro' bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign: Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine. AMEN. Topics: The Call to Service Languages: English
