Abandon Not Your Vow
Abandon not your vow to do what is right
Built upon integrity along sincere practice
Cling to your commitment with steadfastness
Directed toward service and reaching-out.
Exhorted for loyalty and fidelity’s tenacity
Fulfill your role well with honest heart
Guarded against hypocrisy’s destruction
Hoisted for readiness to help by God’s grace.*
*1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
