387. Witness Ye Men and Angels, Now

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 need supply.

4 Lord, 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.
