1 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.
Refrain:
We consecreate ourselves anew,
Our all to Him we give (we give).
O may we do as He would do
And live as He would live.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
