4 In thy own self; none can hurt thee, Nor can they stop the course Of that sweet Sap that feeds our Tree; A blessed intercourse
5 There is between those souls of thine And thy own self, O Lord; We'll never fear what Foes can do, If sap thou dost afford.
6 Let us thee well rooted be, Our Root is very sound; If we enjoy true unity, Our Fruit will much abound.
7 Because that thou dost always live, Thy Branches shall also; Thou unto us thy life dost give, Thy grace does overflow.
8 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoice, His holiness proclaim; Be thankful with your hearts and voice, And sing of his great fame.
