Verse 1

Almighty God, Your Word is cast Like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of Heav'n descend, And righteous fruits abound.

Verse 2

Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove,
But give it root in ev'ry heart To bring forth fruits of love.

Verse 3

Let not the world's deceitful cares The rising plant destroy.
But let it yield a hundredfold The fruits of peace and joy.

Verse 4

Nor let Your Word so kindly sent To raise us to Your throne
Return to You, and sadly tell That we reject Your Son.

Verse 5

Oft as the precious seed is sown, Your quick'ning grace bestow,
That all whose souls the truth receive, Its saving power may know.
