16 主耶稣,我曾应许 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. 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.

3. O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still

Above the storms of passion

The murmurs of self-will! O speak to re-assure me

To hasten or control! O 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; O give me grace to follow

My Master and my Friend! (Amen)
