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 prayed my heart out with this Hymn as a single sister seeking God's direction about life and life partner. I remember today , and I'm happy that He made His voice louder than the storms of my passion and murmurs of my self will.

Had been at home group studying Live no lies (by John Mark Comer) yesterday and awoke early with this hymn in my head. Hadn’t sung it for years so had to find the words. Very inspiring and relevant.

Suddenly found myself reciting the first line of the first stanza of this amazing, refreshing hymn, had to search for it.

Could feel the amazing love of the father to His child very closely as I reaffirmed my commitment to serve Him for ever.

Thank you Jesus!!

I woke up this morning 0530hrs with this song. I have tasted, felt and lived in the deceitful promise of men which only yields sorrows and pains, but the Love and Promises of God in His Son Jesus is the best and most fulfilling part of my life and that's the story I'll share to my world.
