[Unless we faith receive]
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, &c.
—xv. 4.
Unless we faith receive
And still to Jesus cleave,
Our God we cannot please
By fruits of righteousness,
Or work a work, or speak a word,
Or think a thought, without the Lord.
And still to Jesus cleave,
Our God we cannot please
By fruits of righteousness,
Or work a work, or speak a word,
Or think a thought, without the Lord.

But freely justified
In Jesus we abide,
The Spirit's fruits we show,
In true experience grow;
Daily the sap of grace receive,
And more and more like Jesus live.
