Lyics

GRAFTED in Christ, the living vine,

This day, with one accord,

Ourselves, with humble faith and joy,

We yield to Thee, O Lord.



Join'd in one body may we be;

One inward life partake;

One be our heart; one heav'nly hope

In every bosom wake.



In pray'r, in effort, tears, and toils,

One wisdom be our guide;

Taught by one Spirit from above,

In Thee may we abide.



Then, when among the saints in light

Our joyful spirits shine,

Shall anthems of immortal praise,

O Lamb of God, be Thine.
