Come Let Us Use The Divine Grace



"They shall ask the way of Zion, with their faces in that direction, saying,
"Come, let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant
that shall not be forgotten."
(Jeremiah 50:5)

Come, let us use the grace divine,

And all with one accord,

In a perpetual covenant join

Ourselves to Christ the Lord.

Give up ourselves through Jesus' power,

His Name to glorify;

And promise in this sacred hour,

For God to live and die.

The covenant we this moment make

Be ever kept in mind;

We will no more our God forsake,

Or cast His words behind.

We never will throw off His fear

Who hears our solemn vow;

And if Thou art well pleased to hear,

Come down and meet us now.

Amen.


"Come, Let Us Use The Grace Divine"
