With Solemn Joy We Come

With so­lemn joy we come

dear Lord

To make our vows this day;

We find in Thee our hope

our life

Thou art the liv­ing way.

In child­hood’s pure and bless­èd morn

Thy gift was shed from Heav’n

When at the sac­red font of life

Our souls to Thee were giv’n.

And through the years Thy won­drous grace

Has fol­lowed all the way;

Thy love has ne­ver let us go

Though we are prone to stray.

Forgive

dear Lord

each fault and stain

And cleanse our hearts from sin;

Help us to walk in hu­mble faith

And keep us pure with­in.

O bless­èd Sav­ior

Thine we are

Thy name we would con­fess;

Thy Spirit pour in­to our hearts

Our youth­ful lives to bless.

O keep us faith­ful

keep us true

And seal us for Thine own

That we may stand at last with joy

Before Thy great white throne.
