I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
Thy savoury salt to be;
That all the world may see my God:
Thy glory seen in me!

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
I've tried without success
To bear these fruit all by myself,
Producing emptiness.

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
Let me abide in Thee,
The vine of Truth and nourishment,
The source of fruit, so free!

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
Of love and gentleness,
Of peace and joy and self-control
And blessed faithfulness

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
Till thou will come again
Then, taken up, I can proclaim:
"My life was not in vain!"
