O Jesus, I Have Promised Words by John E. Bode Music by Arthur H. Mann Words and Music public domain 501
O Jesus, I have promisedTo serve Thee to the endBe Thou forever near meMy Master and my friend
I shall not fear the battleIf Thou art by my sideNor wander from the pathwayIf Thou wilt be my guide
O Jesus, Thou hast promisedTo all who follow TheeThat where Thou art in gloryThere shall Thy servant be
And, Jesus, I have promisedTo serve Thee to the endO give me grace to followMy Master and my friend
O let me feel Thee near meThe world is ever nearI see the sights that dazzleThe tempting sounds I hear
My foes are ever near meAround me and withinBut, Jesus, draw Thou nearerAnd shield my soul from sin
O let me hear Thee speakingIn accents clear and stillAbove the storms of passionThe murmurs of self-will
O speak to reassure meTo hasten or controlO speak, and make me listenThou guardian of my soul
