- 1Ye men and angels, witness now,
- Before the Lord we speak;
- To Him we make our solemn vow,
- A vow we may not break:
- 2That long as life itself shall last,
- Ourselves to Christ we'll yield;
- Nor from His cause will we depart,
- Or ever quit the field.
- 3We trust not in our unaided strength,
- But on His grace rely;
- May He, with our returning wants,
- All needful help supply.
- 4Lord, 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.
