Lyics

YE men and angels, witness now,

Before the Lord they speak;

To him they make their solemn vow,

A vow they dare not break.



That, long as life itself shall last,

Themselves to Christ they yield;

Nor from his cause will they depart,

Or ever quit the field.



Not trusting to their native strength,

They on his grace rely:

And he to their returning wants,

Will needful help supply.



Yes, he will guide their feet aright,

And keep them in his ways;

And while they turn their sighs to prayers,

He'll turn their prayers to praise.
