Cantique : He’s the vine and we’re the branches

He’s the vine and we’re the branches,
We should e’er abide in Him,
And let Him abide within us
As the flow of life within.

In the vine, in the vine,
In the vine, in the vine,
We would know Thee, Lord,
more deeply,
E’er abiding in the vine.

As we hear His instant speaking,
He’s the rich indwelling Word;
To abide we must be faithful
To the speaking that we’ve heard.

For ’tis here we know abiding
In the real and deepest way;
If we love our Lord completely,
We would do whate’er He’d say.

Then His love abides within us,
And in love abiding, we
Know the joy of life-communion,
Full and perfect harmony.

Oh, how precious this abiding,
Oh, how intimate and sweet;
As the fruit of life is added,
And our joy is made complete.

(1) With His Believers

as the Branches

---------------

As the many branches of the vine, the believers of Christ are members of the Christ of God to form the organism of the Triune God in the divine dispensing. In John 15:5 the Lord Jesus declared, “I am the vine; you are the branches. ” Such a statement implies that Christ and His believers are one tree. Christ and the believers, the vine with the branches, form the organism of the Triune God in the divine dispensing. The vine in John 15 , therefore, is a universal vine comprising Christ and His believers as the branches. In this vine, this organism, the Triune God lives, expresses Himself, and dispenses Himself to the uttermost.

Christ, the infinite God, is the vine, and we are His branches. We are actually branches of the infinite God, organically one with Him. This means that we have been organically joined to the Triune God. Now we are part of God, even as the members of our bodies are parts of us. If we are in the light, we shall see that we are members of Christ, that we are part of Him.

We have become branches of the vine, members of the Christ of God, by the branching out of the vine. By our natural life we are not branches of the vine. On the contrary, by our fallen nature we are branches of Adam and even branches of the devil. Just as a branch is the branching out of a tree, so when we were born, we were just the branching out of Adam. As branches of Adam, we were also branches of Satan. The wonderful thing is that when we believed in the Lord Jesus, He branched out into us. This branching out has made us branches of this wonderful Christ. Therefore, Christ’s branching out has made us branches of Christ as the vine. Now as branches we are filled with Christ as life, for to be a branch in the vine means that Christ has become our life. We should not say that we do not feel that we are filled with Christ. When the Lord says, “I am the vine; you are the branches, ” we have to say a strong amen. Just keep saying, “Hallelujah, I am a branch! ” We as branches of the vine will be filled with Christ.

(3) Abiding in the Son

(the Vine as the Organism of the Divine Trinity)

with the Father as the Expression of the Father

------------------------------

The believers live in the organism of the divine Trinity and participate in the dispensing of the divine Trinity by abiding in the Son (the vine as the organism of the divine Trinity) with the Father as the expression of the Father (John 15:1-8 ; 14:9-10). The Lord Jesus said, “I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman” (John 15:1). He also said to the disciples, “I am the vine, you are the branches” (v. 5a). Christ as the true vine is the universal organism of the divine Trinity. The Son is the vine, the Father is the husbandman, and the Spirit is the testifier. Hence, this vine is the organism of the divine Trinity.

Christ and the believers, the vine with the branches, form the organism of the divine Trinity in the divine dispensing. The vine in John 15 , therefore, is a universal vine comprising Christ and His believers as the branches. In this vine, this organism, the Triune God lives, expresses Himself, and dispenses Himself to the uttermost.

Praise the Lord! Our Christian life is a life of abiding in the Lord 😀

Break through in us and have a free way to flow in our being. May there be no insulation and no limitation to Your life growing in us. Have a free way to spread Yourself in our mind, emotion, will, Lord, we want to maintain our fellowship with You and live a life of abiding in the Lord, for apart from You we are nothing, we have nothing, and we can do nothing. Keep us abiding in You so that we can enjoy all Your riches and grow with the growth of God to bear fruit for God to be glorified! 🙏

For years he worked at the hatter’s trade with Beebe on Broadway, New York and afterwards in his own establishment. His taste and talent led him into musical connections, and from time to time, after the giving up his trade, he worked with Horace Waters, Philip Phillips, W. B. Bradbury, and F. J. Smith, the piano dealer. He was a choir leader and a good composer.

Love the song but I would like to have had the accompaniment with it, not just the chords.
