HYMN 137.

Witness ye men and angels, now
Before the Lord we speak;
To him we make a 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,
That, with returning wants, the Lord
Will all our need supply.

Lord, 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.
