O Jesus, I have promised

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.

It's really nice to be reasured once again about the promises of God, but my beloved let's not forget our ultimate goal, that is to populate the kingdom of heaven. Let's win more Souls for Christ. God bless you all.

In the prayer this morning, the hymn came to me, as I sang I was missing words. Never thought of searching on the net, know hymn will be on net but I heard the Spirit of God say you use to google. Google this one. Thanks a lot for this hymn. I'm blessed already. Thanks

I remember, just like it was yesterday, kneeling by the side of the river, where I was baptized. My tear filled eyes glowed with joy unspeakable, knowing that whatever things betide, I'll never walk alone.

I fell in love with this hymn the very first time I heard it. I remember an overwhelming feeling sweeping through me. 14years later it still fills my eyes with tears...I shall not fear the battle if Thou art by my side. Nothing calms my soul quite like this reassuring hymn does.

I remember that particular night when the devil came with his devices, oh how glorious it is to have Jesus as the guardian of your soul. I woke up with this song with tears of joy and assurance that Jesus is the guardian of my soul. Hoiw comforting that could be. Thank you Jesus, I will serve the to the end.no matter what come against me, I know with you on my side nothing, absolutely nothing can take me out of thy hand. I love you Lord.
