[I vow, resolve, and promise, Lord]

Promise unto the Lord your God, and keep it. —lxxvi. 11.

I vow, resolve, and promise, Lord,
Through Thy sufficient grace,
To' eschew the thing by Thee abhorr'd,
And walk in all Thy ways.
Confiding in Thy blood applied,
Arm'd with Thy Spirit's power,
My bosom-sin I lay aside,
And never act it more.
A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
I will on Thee depend,
My vow impossible perform,
And keep it to the end;
Repeat my promise every day,
And every day fulfil;
And walk, and run, and soar away
To meet Thee on the hill.
