Fruitful Branches - January 23, 1956



The Husbandman is God, my dear,
He purgeth everyone;
Who bears the fruit of righteousness,
While dwelling in His Son.
How lovely and how beautiful,
The fruit of peace and joy;
The fruit of gentleness and love,
We bear in God’s employ.

When we abide within the Vine,
And fruitful branches be,
When consecrated by the One,
Who died on Calvary;
Then God the Father purified,
A blessed fact, my friend;
That you and I more fruit might bear,
And overcome all sin.

The Savior prayed so earnestly,
That all converts be pure;
And God shall answer his request,
This one thing we are sure;
That all who dwell within the Vine,
And dare good fruit to bear;
That God the Husbandman shall purge,
Said souls, the Word declares.
