| Kings VI | B |
| - | |
| Thou that on sin's wages starvest | C |
| Behold we have the joy in harvest | C |
| For us was gather'd the first fruits | A |
| For us was lifted from the roots | A |
| Sheaved in cruel bands bruised sore | D |
| Scourged upon the threshing floor | D |
| Where the upper mill stone roof'd His head | C |
| At morn we found the heavenly Bread | C |
| And on a thousand altars laid | C |
| Christ our Sacrifice is made | C |
| - | |
| Thou whose dry plot for moisture gapes | A |
| We shout with them that tread the grapes | A |
| For us the Vine was fenced with thorn | E |
| Five ways the precious branches torn | E |
| Terrible fruit was on the tree | F |
| In the acre of Gethsemane | E |
| For us by Calvary's distress | A |
| The wine was racked from the press | A |
| Now in our altar vessels stored | C |
| Is the sweet Vintage of our Lord | C |

| In Joseph's garden they threw by | B |
| The riv'n Vine leafless lifeless dry | B |
| On Easter morn the Tree was forth | G |
| In forty days reach'd heaven from earth | H |
| Soon the whole world is overspread | C |
| Ye weary come into the shade | C |
| - | |
| The field where He has planted us | A |
| Shall shake her fruit as Libanus | A |
| When He has sheaved us in His sheaf | I |
| When He has made us bear his leaf | I |
| We scarcely call that banquet food | C |
| But even our Saviour's and our blood | C |
| We are so grafted on His wood | C |
