Hymn
Witness, Ye Men And Angels Now
- Writer
- Benjamin Beddome
Ye men and angels, witness now,
Before the Lord we speak;
To Him we make our solemn vow,
A vow we may not break:
That long as life itself shall last,
Ourselves to Christ we'll yield;
Nor from His cause will we depart,
Or ever quit the field.
We trust not in our unaided strength,
But on His grace rely;
May He, with our returning wants,
All needful help supply.
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.
