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.
