GOD of truth and power and grace, Drawn by thee to seek thy face, Lo! I in thy courts appear, Humbly come to meet thee here;

Trembling at thine altar stand, Lift to heaven my heart and hand, Of thy promised strength secure, All my sins I now abjure.

All my promises renew, All my wickedness eschew, Chiefly that I called my own, Now I hate, renounce, disown.

Never more will I commit, Follow, or be led by it; Only grant the grace I claim, Arm my soul with Jesu's name.

Sure I am it is thy will, I should never yield to ill, Never lose thy gracious power, Never sin or grieve thee more.

What doth then my hopes prevent Lord, thou stay'st for my consent; My consent through grace I give, Promise in thy fear to live.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Present with thy angel host, While I at thy altar bow, Witness to the solemn vow.

Now admit my bold appeal, Now affix thy Spirit's seal, Now the power from high he given, Register the oath in heaven.
