Author: Bernadette Farrell, b. 1957 Hymnal: RitualSong #804 (1996) First Line: If we have died with him Refrain First Line: Unless a grain of wheat shall fall upon the ground and die Lyrics: Refrain:
Unless a grain of wheat shall fall upon the ground and die,
it remains but a single grain with no life.
1 If we have died with him then we shall live with him;
if we hold firm, we shall reign with him. [Refrain]
2 If anyone serves me then they must follow me;
wherever I am my servants will be. [Refrain]
3 Make your home in me as I make mine in you;
those who remain in me bear much fruit. [Refrain]
4 If you remain in me and my word lives in you,
then you will be my disciples. [Refrain]
5 Those who love me are loved by my Father;
we shall be with them and dwell in them. [Refrain]
6 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you;
peace which the world cannot give is my gift.
