7.6.7.6.D. - Trochaic Tunes1.
O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end
Be Thou for ever 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 reassure me
To chasten 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
5.
O let me see Thy footmarks
And in them plant mine own
My hope to follow duly
Is in Thy strength alone
O guide me, call me, draw me
Uphold me in the end
And then in heav’n receive me
My Saviour and my Friend
Amen
