O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816 - 74 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #515a (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Pilgrimage; The Life In Christ Service; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Life In Christ Consecration Lyrics: 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. A-men.
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 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL'S STORY

O Jesus, I have promised
Brief life is here our portion
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Bernard of Cluny, XII cent. Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #527 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion,
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there.
2 O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest! A-men.
3 There grief is turned to pleasure,
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know.
4 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown.
5 And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Sion, in her anguish,
With Babylon must cope;
6 But he whom now we trust in
Shall then be seen and known,
And they that know and see him
Shall have him for their own.
7 The morning shall awaken,
The shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
8 There, God our King and portion,
In fullness of his grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face.
9 O sweet and blessèd country,
The home of God's elect;
O sweet and blessèd country,
That eager hearts expect!
10 Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest,
Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE
Brief life is here our portion
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter, 1615 - 91 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #368 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve thee is my share,
And this thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To welcome endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;
He that into God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessèd face to see;
For if thy work on earth be sweet,
What will thy glory be?
5 My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with him. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE
Lord, it belongs not to my care

I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MARGARET

Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
Be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee,
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire. A-men.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then, in love
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVET

Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what thou dost love
And do what thou wouldst do.
2 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with thee I will one will,
To do and to endure. A-men.
3 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Unite my soul with thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with thy fire divine.
4 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with thee the perfect life
Of thine eternity.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TRENTHAM

I look to thee in every need
Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819 - 92 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #490 (1958) Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration; The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest; The Life In Christ Contemplation Lyrics: 1 I look to thee in every need,
And never look in vain;
I feel thy strong and tender love,
And all is well again:
The thought of thee is mightier far
Than sin and pain and sorrow are.
2 Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of thee,
And then new heart springs up in me.
3 Thy calmness bends serene above,
My restlessness to still;
Around me flows thy quickening life,
To nerve my faltering will:
Thy presence fills my solitude;
Thy providence turns all to good.
4 Embosomed deep in thy dear love,
Held in thy law, I stand;
Thy hand in all things I behold,
And all things in thy hand;
Thou leadest me by unsought ways,
And turn'st my mourning into praise.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: O JESU
I look to thee in every need

Both friend and foe in all our strife;
And preach thee, too, as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life: [Refrain]

Dispels the shades of night;
O Jesus, my defender,
My soul's supreme delight,
Though fortune should bereave me
Of all I love the best,
If thou thy love still leave me,
I freely give the rest.
2 I know no life divided,
O Lord of life, from thee;
In thee is life provided
For all mankind and me;
I know no death, O Jesus,
Because I live in thee;
Thy death it is which frees us
From death eternally. A-men.
3 Lord, with this truth impress me,
And write it on my heart,
To comfort, cheer and bless me,
That thou my Saviour art.
Thy love it was which sought me,
Thyself unsought by me,
And for thy ransom bought me
To live for aye in thee.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HEAVENLY LOVE
O blessed Sun whose splendor
