Planted in Christ, the living vine

Planted in Christ, the living Vine, This day, with one accord, Ourselves, with humble faith and joy, We yield to thee, O Lord.
Verse 2
Joined in one body may we be, One inward life partake, One be our heart, one heavenly hope In every bosom wake.
Verse 3
In prayer, in effort, tears, and toils, One wisdom be our guide; Taught by one Spirit from above, In thee may we abide.
Verse 4
Around this feeble, trusting band Thy sheltering pinions spread, Nor let the storms of trial beat Too fiercely on our head.
Verse 5
Then, when among the saints in light, We all immortal shine, Anthems of everlasting praise, Dear Saviour, shall be thine.
