Author: Clara McAlister Brooks Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project First Line: If ye then with Christ be risen, Seek those things which are above Refrain First Line: I am the Vine, I am the Vine Lyrics: 1 If ye then with Christ be risen, Seek those things which are above; Putting off all wrath and malice, Walk with Him in perfect love. Lay aside all strife and envy, Hatred, foolishness, and pride; None who cling to aught that’s sinful In His kingdom shall abide. Refrain: I am the Vine, I am the Vine, Ye are the fruitful branches. 2 If we’re in the Spirit living, Let us also walk therein, Free from guilt and condemnation— From the servitude of sin— Bearing holy fruits of meekness, Temperance and love and peace, Faith and gentleness possessing, Daily shall our joy increase. [Refrain] 3 Can there issue from one fountain Both the bitter and the sweet? Do we gather figs of thistles, Sow the tares, expecting wheat? So a good tree yields by nature Perfect fruit, and that alone; Trees corrupt are bearing evil— By their fruits they shall be known. [Refrain] 4 Once of sin we were the servants, Held beneath its tyrant sway, Free from righteousness—unholy— But we’ve found a better way. By the word of God obeying, We are free from sinful strife; Fruits of holiness we’re yielding, And the end eternal life. [Refrain] 5 We are dwelling in the Spirit, By our Father’s blest design; Through His grace we’re made partakers Of His nature, pure, divine. By His faith alone I’m living, For with Christ to sin I died; I will bear abundant fruitage, That His name be glorified. [Refrain]

Clara McAlister Brooks

1882 - 1980 Person Name: Clara McAlister Hymnal Title: Timeless Truths Author of "Fruit-Bearing" in Timeless Truths Birth: Oct. 9, 1882, Parke County, Indiana, USA Death: Mar. 20, 1980, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, USA Clara McAlister Brooks was one of our early songwriters and four of her pieces are in the current hymnal. From the earliest days of the movement we have had women prominent in all forms of our ministry—missionaries, evangelists, teachers, pastors, and God has honored their sacrificial labors. For that reason we can stand in amazement when here, in the 1970s, such old-line denominations as the Episcopal church are being racked with controversy over whether the ordination of women is permissible. But before we gather Pharisaic robes about ourselves, perhaps we need to look candidly at the way in which we, too, succumbed to some of the cultural and prejudicial patterns of later decades! --www.whwomenclergy.org/articles/
