SACRED
POEMS AND
HYMNS,
By
Come, ye that fear the
Lord,
And love Him while ye
fear;
Come, and with heart and
hand record
Your vow and covenant here.
Vow to be His alone
Who bought you with a
price;
Now render back to God His
own,
By free-will sacrifice.
Here to His altar brought,
Your covenant renew,
To be in word, and deed,
and thought,
Faithful to Him and true.
And true and faithful He
To you will ever prove,
Though hills were swept
into the sea,
And mountains should
remove.
Then be His law our
choice,
The joy of young and old,
As sheep that hear their
shepherd's voice,
And follow to the fold.
So shall His staff and rod
Conduct us and defend:
God is a covenant-keeping
God,
And loves unto the end.
