hymn of (re)commitment

Come, All Christians, Be Committed by Eva B. Lloyd

Come, all Christians, be committed to the service of the Lord.
Make you lives for Him more fitted, tune you hearts with one accord.
Come into His courts with gladness, each his sacred vows renew.
Turn away from sin and sadness, be transformed with life anew.

Of your time and talents give ye, they are gifts from God above,
To be used by Christians freely to proclaim His wondrous love.
Come again to serve the Savior, tithes and offerings with you bring.
In your work with Him find favor, and with joy His praises bring.

God's command to love each other is required of every man.
Showing mercy to a brother mirrors His redemptive plan.
In compassion He has given of His love that is divine;
On the cross sins were forgiven; joy and peace are fully thine.

Come in praise and adoration all who on Christ's name believe.
Worship Him with consecration, grace and love will you receive.
For His grace give Him the glory, for the Spirit and the Word,
And repeat the gospel story Till all men His name have heard.
