For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown.

Christ the Life of the Believer

If my immortal Saviour lives,
Then my eternal life is sure;
His word a firm foundation gives,
Here let me build, and rest secure.

If Jesus is for ever mine,
Not death itself, that last of foes,
Shall break a union so divine.

United to Christ
I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, he same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
~ John 15:5
Lord of the vineyard, we adore
That power and grace divine,
Which plants our wild, our barren souls,
In Christ the living Vine.
For ever there may I abide,
And from that vital root,
Be influence spread through every branch,
To form and feed the fruit.
