As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself
start
And vain the form of pray­er,
And ga­ther with Thine arm;
As the branch cannot bear fruit
Are but a worth­less sac­ri­fice
Ye watch­men on the wall,
From ev­ery land they call;
You can­not be right in the rest,
For the har­vest most sure­ly will per­ish
That I should live in You.
We know not how to seek Thy face
We can­not hope to win the prize,
Lord, we confess
May ef­forts be to rise again,
I can­not draw an­oth­er breath
Life is but ex­tend­ed sor­row
In vain for thee the Sav­ior died,
Our weak­ness shall not mat­ter,

Unless

Those who build it labor in vain.
In the vine
The wea­ry build­ers toil in vain;
And pe­ni­tence be there.
The wolf can nev­er harm.
It abides in the vine,
Upon Thy all dis­cern­ing ear
Our Zi­on here will fall.
The Gos­pel is for all.
As Je­sus ap­pears in your view,
And this is the pro­mise He giv­eth:
And taught my op­en­ing mind,
We have no words, un­less Thy grace,
Nor reap the fruits of end­less joy
We have You; You’re all in all—You’re our success!
And when my work on earth is done,
Kind an­gels guard me ev­ery night,
Not for­ev­er will He lin­ger,
O wretch­ed man, from guilt to dream
One shall a thou­sand scat­ter
