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 your 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.”
J G. D.
