Tune: Melita
(\'Eternal Father, strong to save\')
John 15 v.1-8 parts
********
Jesus said, I am the true vine
Myr Father vine-dresser divine
Each branch in Christ that bears fruit none
He takes away, a reaping done
And each branch that does ber fruit He
Purnes it, that it bear more fruit, see
Now we are made clean through Christ\'s word
He has spoke to us, we Him heard
Abide in Christ, and He in you
For branch cannot bear fruit, \'tis true
If unattached from vine it be
Non-productive, unfruitful, see
If branch not in the vine abide
To be nurtured there, to reside
No more can you do, except you
Remain in Christ, He the vine true
But abiding in Him fruit much
We shall produce, He shall bless such
If you abide in Christ, and too
Christ\'s words they do abide in you
You shall ask what you will, and so
It shall be done to you, thus know
Christ\'s Father He is glorified
As you bear much fruit, here abide
