16272. With Solemn Joy We Come

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

5 O bless­èd Sav­ior, Thine we are,
Thy name we would con­fess;
Thy Spirit pour in­to our hearts,
Our youth­ful lives to bless.

6 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.
