This choral setting of "O Jesus, I Have Promised" offers a fresh musical interpretation of John Ernest Bode’s timeless hymn, reimagined as an anthem for the Lenten season. With a contemplative tone, this arrangement was written to highlight the depth of the text’s themes—dedication, perseverance, and inner strength—as part of a church service series exploring different musical settings of these words.

Text

O Jesus (*Spirit), I have promised
To learn from you to the end;
Be forever near me,
My Teacher and my Friend;
I shall not fear
When you are by my side,
Nor wander far
If you will be my Guide.

John Ernest Bode (1869)
Adapted, David García Saldaña
