I in my Saviour's vine,
Nourished and blest;
Leaves a-blossoming, fine,
Fruits manifest.
In whom else shall I abide,
And such ripping fruits bear?
Tales of woe betide
If I from Him tear.
I in my Saviour's vine
Such heavenly arms rest
Trimming my branching spine
A true Husbandman best
In whom else shall I abide,
And such ripping fruits bear?
There's no life outside;
I dare not from Him tear.
