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 Chris 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 prayers,
Turn thou our prayers to praise.
