He’s the vine and we’re the branches

lyricist: Adapted
Composer: Silas Jones Vail

He’s the vine and we’re the branches

We should e’er abide in Him

And let Him abide within us

As the flow of life within.

In the vine

in the vine

In the vine

in the vine

We would know Thee

Lord

more deeply

E’er abiding in the vine.

As we hear His instant speaking

He’s the rich indwelling Word;

To abide we must be faithful

To the speaking that we’ve heard.

For ’tis here we know abiding

In the real and deepest way;

If we love our Lord completely

We would do whate’er He’d say.

Then His love abides within us

And in love abiding

we

Know the joy of life-communion

Full and perfect harmony.

Oh

how precious this abiding

Oh

how intimate and sweet;

As the fruit of life is added

And our joy is made complete.
