and grafted to him we must be;
and thus we yield abundantly
sweet fruit for all to taste and see.
2 If we be joined to him we know
his strength and power will help us grow.
His Spirit's grace through us will flow
to prune and shape us as we go.
3 The vine is he, the branches we
for now and to eternity.
His word sown deep in us will be
both sun and rain . . . sufficiency.
4. The Lord of Life, the Source Divine
calls us to come, with him entwine.
Will we, unhearing, dare decline
the call of Christ, the One True Vine? Scripture: Psalm 34:8 Used With Tune: LATHAM
The Lord of Life, a Vine Is He
