Hymns and Sacred Poems, Abide in Me: John 15:4 (15:4)
CHRISTIAN, wouldst thou fruitful be?
Jesus says, "Abide in Me;”
From Him all thy fruit is found,-
May it to God's praise abound.
Christian, wouldst thou happy be?
Jesus says, "Abide in Me;" He is thine exceeding joy,
Bliss divine without alloy.
Christian, wouldst thou holy be?
Jesus says, "Abide in Me;”
Sanctified in Him thou art,-
Sanctify Him in thy heart.
Christian, this thy motto be,
Jesus says, "Abide in Me;”
Grace and strength from Him receive,
As a branch in Jesus live.
Soon shalt thou thy Master see,
Hear Him say, " Abide with Me,
In My Father's house above,
In the bosom of His love.”
