| I Vow To You My Savior |
| |
| I vow to you, my Saviour, all earthly things above, |
| Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love; |
| The love that asks no questions, the love that stands the test, |
| That lays upon his altar the dearest and the best; |
| The love that never falters, the love that knows the price, |
| The love that stands indebted before your sacrifice. |
| |
| And there’s a royal country I’ve heard of long ago, |
| It speaks of grace and heaven, a place that all may know; |
| We may not count her armies, we may not see her King; |
| Her emblem on a hilltop, the Cross of suffering, |
| And soul by soul and silently, her citizens increase, |
| Her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace. |
| |
| O tell me of the Kingdom that stands the test of time, |
| O lead me to its gateway, and speak the word sublime |
| That tells me I’m forgiven, my name is in the Book, |
| The Cross of Jesus holds me, as heavenward I look; |
| Baptised into a living hope, I’ll walk the path that’s new; |
| And the prize of God in Jesus for ever I’ll pursue. |
| |
| So light the fire within me, and let me fan the flame, |
| And fill me with the Spirit, that I may bear your Name; |
| In season and in hardship, to run my given race, |
| O keep me ever-burning until I see your face. |
| I vow to you, my Saviour, that where your feet have trod, |
| I’ll serve and follow faithfully, my Master and my God! |
