Text: | With Solemn Joy We Come, Dear Lord |
Author: | Ernest Edwin Ryden |
Tune: | ST. PETER |
Composer: | Alexander Robert Reinagle |
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 blessed morn
Thy gift was shed from heav'n,
When at the sacred font of life
Our souls to Thee were giv'n.
3 And thro'h 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 precious Saviour, 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!
Amen.
