9.         HYMN     EMHB 526           YMHB  315 (Ore Ojo Isinmi)

1.            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.

Y315
