The Promise

Millennial Harp (1843), Part II, printed p. 36 (PDF 112); stanzas 2–12 on printed p. 37 (PDF 113).
Three staves (treble with the words, second treble a third above, bass); F major, 4/4.

Each stanza is two lines, and the refrain follows **each** line: the hymnal prints the refrain in full
under the music with stanza 1 and then abbreviates it to «Jesus, &c.» after every line of stanzas 2–12.
The two lines of stanza 1 are printed one above the other, joined by a brace, under the first strain:
the strain is sung twice, once with each line.

Jesus says he will be with us to the end,
For he has been with us, and he still is with us,
And he's promis'd to be with us to the end.

Jesus my all to heaven is gone;
He whom I fix my hopes upon.

His track I see and I 'll pursue, Jesus, &c.
The narrow way till him I view. Jesus, &c.

The way the holy prophets went, Jesus, &c.
The road that leads from banishment. Jesus, &c.

The king's highway of holiness, Jesus, &c.
I 'll go, for all his paths are peace. Jesus, &c.

This is the way I long have sought, Jesus, &c.
And mourned because I found it not. Jesus &c.

My grief a burden long has been, Jesus, &c.
Because I was not saved from sin. Jesus, &c.

The more I strove against its power, Jesus, &c.
I felt its weight and guilt the more. Jesus, &c.

Till late I heard my Savior say, Jesus, &c.
'Come hither soul, I am the way.' Jesus, &c.

Lo! glad I come, and thou, blest Lamb, Jesus, &c.
Shall take me to thee, whose I am. Jesus, &c.

Nothing but sin have I to give, Jesus, &c.
Nothing but love shall I receive. Jesus, &c.

Then will I tell to sinners round, Jesus, &c.
What a dear Savior I have found. Jesus, &c.

I 'll point to thy redeeming blood, Jesus, &c.
And say, 'Behold the way of God.' Jesus, &c.
