Witness, Ye Men and Angels Now

lyricist: Benjamin Beddome (1717–1795)
Composer: John Dykes, 1866

Witness ye men and an­gels now

Before the Lord we speak;

To Him we make our sol­emn vow

A vow we dare not break—

That long as life it­self shall last

Ourselves to Christ we yield;

Nor from His cause will we de­part

Or ev­er quit the field.

We trust not in our na­tive strength

But on His grace re­ly

That with re­turn­ing wants

the Lord

Will all our need sup­ply.

O 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.
