The Lord by his right Hand did Plant this Vine, and Vine-yard too; And shines upon each Gracious Saint, and waters it also.
3 Into this Vine-yard we are called, whilst others Idle stand; Lord help as all to work therein, and yield to thy Command.
3 Into this Vine-yard we are call'd, whilst others Idle stand; Lord help as all to work therein, and yield to thy Command.
4 Thy care is great of thy own Church, thou watcheth it each day; But fruitless Trees thou wilt pluck up, and throw them quite away.
5 But wilt prune such that fruitful be, we therefore thee adore, And in sweet Hymns we'll sing to Thee, now and for Evermore.
