O Jesus I Have Promised Lyrics & Chords
By John E. Bode & Arthur H. Mann
(D)O Jesus, I have (A)promised to serve Thee to the (D)end; Be (B)Thou forever (Em)near me, my (E)master and my (A)friend; I (D)shall not fear the (A)battle if Thou art by my (D)side, Nor (B)wander from the (Em)pathway if (D)Thou wilt (A)be my (D)guide. 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. 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. 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. O let me see Thy footprints, 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.
