O Jesus Thou Hast Promised by John Bode
O Jesus Thou Hast Promised
Capo:no capo
[Chorus]
C F
O Jesus, I have promised
G7 C
to serve thee to the end:
C F
be thou ever near me,
G7 C
my Master and my friend;
G F
I shall not fear the battle
D7 G
if thou art by my side,
G7 F F7
nor wander from the pathway
D7 G G7
if thou wilt be my guide.
[Verse]
C F
O let me feel thee near me!
G7 C
The world is ever near;
C F
I see the sights that dazzle,
G7 C
the tempting sounds I hear;
G F
my foes are ever near me,
D7 G
around me and within;
G7 F F7
but Jesus, draw thou nearer,
D7 G G7
and shield my soul from sin.
C F
O let me hear thee speaking
G7 C
in accents clear and still,
C F
above the storms of passion,
G7 C
the murmurs of self-will;
G F
O speak to reassure me,
D7 G
to hasten or control;
G7 F F7
O speak, and make me listen,
D7 G G7
thou guardian of my soul.
C F
O let me see thy features,
G7 C
the look that once could make
C F
so many a true disciple
G7 C
leave all things for thy sake:
G F
the look that beamed on Peter
D7 G
when he thy name denied;
G7 F F7
the look that draws thy lovers
D7 G G7
close to thy piercèd side.
[Chorus]
C F
O Jesus, thou hast promised
G7 C
to all who follow thee,
C F
that where thou art in glory
G7 C
there shall thy servant be;
G F
and, Jesus I have promised
D7 G
to serve thee to the end;
G7 F F7
O give me grace to follow,
D7 G G7
my Master and my friend.
[Verse]
C F
O let me see thy footmarks,
G7 C
and in them plant mine own;
C F
My hope to follow duly
G7 C
is in thy strength alone.
G F
O guide me, call me, draw me,
D7 G
uphold me to the end;
G7 F F7
and then in heaven receive me,
D7 G G7
my Savior and my Friend.
F F7
and then in heaven receive me,
G7 C
my Savior and my Friend.
