O Jesus, I have promised

E465
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
Oh, 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
Oh, let me hear Thee speaking,
  In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
  The murmurs of self-will;
Oh, speak to reassure me,
  To hasten, or control;
Oh, 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;
Oh, give me grace to follow,
  My Master and my Friend.
5
Oh, let me see Thy footmarks,
  And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly
  Is in Thy strength alone.
Oh, guide me, call me, draw me,
  Uphold me to the end;
And then to rest receive me,
  My Savior and my Friend.

I can't but Sing this Hymn. So powerful, whenever I sing it, it connects me back to The Almighty, whenever my soul is fading away.

Oh Jesus Christ, give me the grace to follow you to the end.

Jesus is over all. No terror can attack. No weapon fashioned upon me shall prosper. All the spirits of darkness are defeated in Jesus name Amen.

At such a time like this it is good to know that Jesus is with us even in the storms of life. Let's put our confidence in Him because He will never fail us.

I woke with this hymn and had to search for the words , so reassuring when I sing wells up that God is with us and he has promised never to leave us . Thanks for the words of the verses
