We Consecrate Ourselves Anew

Here on the al­tar of true love

We give our­selves anew;

One faith is ours

one God ab­ove

One aim to will or do;

And O the flame that blaz­es bright

And nev­er wax­es dim

In hear­ty love for God and right

Inspired by love for Him.

We con­se­crate our­selves anew

Our all to Him we give (we give).

O may we do as He would do

And live as He would live.

In un­ion sweet we love to meet

And feel the tie that binds;

It gives re­lief to wea­ry feet

And balm to faint­ing minds;

And O the com­mon ties of earth

Are small com­pared with His

For ours the bond princ­ely birth

The hope of heav’n­ly bliss.

We con­se­crate our­selves anew

Our heart’s best of­fer­ing give

Resolved to do as He would do

And live as He would live;

And O we know we must suc­ceed

With such a guide and friend;

Our vows will blos­som in­to deeds

And in frui­tion end.
