Here, Saviour, we would comeIn thine appointed way;Obedient to thy high commands,Our solemn vows we pay.

2

O bless this sacred rite,To bring us near to thee;And may we find that as our dayOur strength may also be.

3

As through the world we go,So full of care and sin,May we by word and action showThat Jesus reigns within.
