Representative Text

1 As a branch I may abide,
Whether joy or woe betide,
In my Lord, the living Vine,
That the fruit should not be mine.

Refrain:
I am His, He is mine,
As the branch is to the vine.
I am His, He is mine,
Living with my Lord divine.

2 Daily pruning He may see,
In my life is best for me.
He permits in love, I know,
Things that I must undergo. [Refrain]

3 I may ask Him what I will,
And His Word He will fulfil,
Branch-and-Vine Life ev’ry day,
All along my earthly way. [Refrain]
