Hymn 272

First gave their own selves to the Lord.

L.M.

GLORY to God whose Spirit draws Fresh soldiers to the Savior's cause; Who, thus baptiz'd unto his name, His goodness and their faith proclaim.

For these now added to the host Who in their Lord and Savior trust, And consecrate to him their days, Accept, O God, our grateful praise.

Thus may thy mighty Spirit draw All here to love and keep his law, Themselves his subjects to declare, And place themselves beneath his care.

Lead them at once their Lord to own, To glory in his cross alone, And then, baptized, his truth to teach, His love to share, his heaven to reach.
