Christian's Duty, exhibited in a series of hymns ‎#S21

S21. Come, let us use the grace divine

1 Come, let us use the grace divine,
And all with one accord,
In a perpetual cov'nant join
Ourselves to Christ the Lord.

2 Give up ourselves thro' Jesu's pow'r,
His name to glorify;
And promise in this sacred hour,
For God to live and die.

3 The cov'nant we this moment make
Be ever kept in mind;
We will no more our God forsake,
Or cast these words behind.

4 We never will throw off the fear.
Who hears our solemn vow;
And if thou art well pleas'd to hear,
Come down and meet us now!

5 Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
let all our hearts receive;
Present with the celestial host,
The peaceful answer give.

6 To each cov'nant the blood apply
Which takes our sins away;
And register our names on high,
And keep us to that day.
