Planted in Christ, the living vine

Samuel Francis Smith • English

Primary Scripture: John 15:4-5

Verse 1

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.
