Author: Benj. Beddome Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #217 (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of Christ First Line: Witness, ye men and angels,;now Lyrics: 1 Witness, ye men and angels; 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;
That, with returning wants, the Lord
Will all our needs supply.
4 Lord, guide our doubtful feet aright,
And keep us in Thy ways;
And, while we turn our vows to prayers,
Turn Thou are prayers to praise.
Amen.
