Kreyol song – Jézu, mouin té promèt Ou (Jesus, I Have Promised)

Jezi, mwen te pwomèt ou
Pou m swiv ou jouk lafen;
Rete tou pre mwen toutan,
Mèt mwen e zanmi mwen.
Mwen pa pè sa k ap rive m,
Lè ou rete tou pre m;
Mwen pa p pèdi nan wout la,
Lè ou mache avè m.

M santi lemonn twò pre mwen;
Jezi rete pi pre.
Gen de bagay ki tante m;
Pou mennen m nan peche.
lenmi m yo, yo toujou la,
Yo anndan kè mwen tou;
Men Jezi, ou ka sove m,
Rete pi pre toujou.

Kite m tande ou pale
Byen klèman, pou m kapab
Konnen se vwa w ki pale,
Malgre tout vwa peche.
Pale pou ban m plis konfyans,
Pou m fè tou sa ou vle.
Pale, e fè m koute ou
Se ou ki gadyen mwen.

O Jezi, ou te pwomèt
Tout moun yo k ap swiv ou,
Kote w a ye nan Syèl la,
Se la yo va ye tou.
E Jezi, mwen te pwomèt
Pou m swiv ou toutan,
O ban mwen gras ou anpil,
Mèt mwen e zanmi mwen.

Kite m wè tout tras ou yo,
Pou m mete pye ladan.
Tout espwa mwen pou swiv ou
Se nan fòs ou sèlman.
O gide mwen, e rele m,
Soutni m jouk sa fini;
Epi pran mwen nan Syèl la,
Mèt mwen e Zanmi mwen.

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.

Oh, 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.

Oh, let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will.
Oh, speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
Oh, speak and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.

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;
Oh, give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend.

Oh, let me see Thy footprints,
And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly
Is in Thy strength alone.
Oh, guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end;
And then in Heaven receive me,
My Savior and my Friend.
