We, the undersigned, being desirous of enjoying ourselves in the Lord and having all due knowledge of each other , in the point of works of grace on our heart, religious principle and moral character and being desirous to enjoy the privileges that appertain to the people of God; in a church relation, do, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, freely give ourselves up to the Lord, and to one another, according to His word, to be one body and one head, to exist and act according to the bonds and order of the Gospel, and do promise and engage to do all things by Divine assistance in our several capacities and relations that the Lord has commanded and required of us to deny ourselves, take up our Cross, follow Christ, keep the faith, assemble ourselves together, love the brethren, submit one to another, bear one another’s burdens, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace.
This is the covenant we solemnly enter into in the fear of the Lord, humbly imploring His divine assistance and blessing that we may be built up and established to the glory of God and the advancement of the Redeemer’s interests and comfort and edification of our own soul, through the infinite riches of Free Grace which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
