Page 117 - What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
Page 108 - Judge therefore yourselves, brethren, that ye be not judged of the LORD ; repent you truly for your sins past; have a lively and stedfast faith in CHRIST our SAVIOUR ; amend your lives, and be in perfect charity with all men; so shall ye be meet partakers of those holy mysteries.
