O Jesus, I Have Promised

Author: John E. Bode Hymnal: Mor1995 #603 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Tune Title: ANGEL'S STORY Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end; be now and ever near me, my master and my friend. I shall not fear the battle if you are by my side, nor wander from the pathway if you will be my guide. 2 O let me feel you 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 still nearer and shield my soul from sin! 3 O let me hear you 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; and speak to make me listen, O guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, you have promised to all who follow you that where you are in glory your servants shall be too. And, Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end; O give me grace to follow, my master and my friend.

Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Hymnal: Mor1995 #707 (1995) Meter: Irregular Tune Title: ANTHEM Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise high as the list'ning skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us. Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our people sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered. We have come, treading our path thro' the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who hast brought us thus far on the way, thou who hast by thy might led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee, lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee, shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand, true to our God, true to our native land.
