1. He's the vine and we're the branches, We should e'er abide in Him, And let Him abide within us As the flow of life within. (Chorus:) In the vine, in the vine, In the vine, in the vine, We would know Thee, Lord, more deeply, E'er abiding in the vine. 2. As we here His instant speaking, He's the rich indwelling Word; To abide we must be faithful To the speaking that we've heard. 3. For 'tis here we know abiding In the real and deepest way; If we love our Lord completely, We would do whate'er He'd say. (Chorus:) In the vine, in the vine, In the vine, in the vine, We would know Thee, Lord, more deeply, E'er abiding in the vine. 4. Then His love abides within us, And in love abiding, we Know the joy of life—communion, Full and perfect harmony. 5. Oh, how precious this abiding, Oh, how intimate and sweet; As the fruit of life is added, And our joy is made complete. (Chorus:) In the vine, in the vine, In the vine, in the vine, We would know Thee, Lord, more deeply, E'er abiding in the vine.
