And joy with suffering blent!

That Thou hast kept us through the year
When danger and distress were near.

Who with the Father reign’st as One,
To guard and rule Thy Christendom
Through all the ages yet to come.

Our souls’ true comfort, staff, and stay.
Abide with us and keep us free
From errors, foll'wing only Thee.

A new and holier course begin!
Mark not what once was done amiss;
A happier, better year be this,

Or die in peace that Thou canst give,
To rise again when Thou shalt come
And enter Thine eternal home.

With all the angels evermore.

To praise Thy name through life and death.

The Vine
Author: Toplady Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: John 15:1-5 First Line: Jesus, immutably the same Lyrics: 1 Jesus, immutably the same,
Thou true and living vine,
Around thy all-supporting stem,
My feeble arms I twine.
2 Quicken'd by thee, and kept alive,
I flourish and bear fruit;
My life I from thy sap derive,
My vigour from thy root.
3 Grated in thee, by grace alone,
In growth I daily rise,
And rais'd on this foundation-stone,
My top shall reach the skies.
4 I can do nothing without thee;
My strength is wholly thine;
Wither'd and barren should I be,
If sever'd from the vine.
5 Upon my leaf, when parch'd with heat,
Refreshing dew shall drop;
The plant which thy right hand hath set,
Shall ne'er be rooted up.
5 Each moment water'd by thy care,
And fenc'd with power divine,
Fruit to eternal life shall bear
The feeblest branch of thine. Topics: Son
