We will serve the Lord.
Josh. 24:15.
Ye men and angels, witness now—
Before the Lord we speak,
To him we make our solemn vow—
A vow we dare not break:
2 That, long as life itself shall last,
Ourselves to Christ we yield;
Nor from his cause will we depart,
Or ever quit the field.
3 We trust not in our native strength,
But on his grace rely;
May he, with our returning wants,
All needful aid supply.
4 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.
Beddome.
