LyicsYe men and angels, witness now,--
Before the Lord we speak,
To him we make our solemn vow,--
A vow we dare not break;--
That long as life itself shall last,
Ourselves to Christ we yield;
Nor from his cause will we depart,
Or ever quit the field.
We trust not in our native strength,
But on his grace rely;
May he, with our returning wants,
All needful aid supply.
O, guide our doubtful feet aright,
And keep us in thy ways;
And, while we turn our vows to pray'rs,
Turn thou our pray'rs to praise.
