Lyics

Planted in Christ, the living vine,

This day, with one accord,

Ourselves, with humble faith and joy,

We yield to thee, O Lord.



Joined in one body may we be;

One inward life partake;

One be our heart; one heavenly hope

In every bosom wake.



In prayer, in effort, tears, and toils,

One wisdom be our guide;

Taught by one Spirit from above,

In thee may we abide.



Around this feeble, trusting band

Thy sheltering pinions spread,

Nor let the storms of trial beat

Too fiercely on our head.



Then, when, among the saints in light,

Our joyful spirits shine,

Shall anthems of immortal praise,

O Lamb of God, be thine.
