Jesus, thou art the living vine,
Thy feeble branches we;
Our life has been derived from thine,
Our grace received from thee.
All fruitless boughs are cut away,
Unsound professors proved;
And fruitful boughs more blessed than they,
Are pruned because beloved.
He who doth not in thee abide,
Must see his hopes expire,
And as a branch cut off and dried,
Be cast into the fire.
But he who grace from thee derives,
Our parent stem and root;
Still in perpetual verdure lives,
And bears abundant fruit.
And those, who fruit abundant bear,
Thy true disciples known,
Are placed beneath thy Father’s care,
And thou their names will own.
Abiding in thy changeless love,
May we more fruitful grow;
Until we pass to joy above,
From grace and joy below.
