HYMN 58. Christ's Vine-yard.

1

Thy Vine-yard, Lord, was purchased,
though wild it once did ly,
And Barren was as any Ground
thou couldst on Earth espy;

2

But thou much cost and pains hast shewn,
that it might fruitful be.
Thy Sun doth shine, and Rain doth fall
on it continually.

3

All Praise therefore to God on High,
how great is thy blest Care

64

Of thy Own Church, and every Soul
who truly are sincere.

5

We will the Praises of the Lord
in sacred Hymns set forth;
And sing therefore with one accord,
whilst we do live on Earth,
