Words

  1. 1Almighty God, Your Word is cast Like seed into the ground; Now let the dew of Heav'n descend, And righteous fruits abound.
  2. 2Let 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.
  3. 3Let not the world's deceitful cares The rising plant destroy. But let it yield a hundredfold The fruits of peace and joy.
  4. 4Nor let Your Word so kindly sent To raise us to Your throne Return to You, and sadly tell That we reject Your Son.
  5. 5Oft as the precious seed is sown, Your quick'ning grace bestow, That all whose souls the truth receive, Its saving power may know.
  6. 6Great God, come down and on Your Word Your mighty power bestow, That all who hear the joyful sound, Your saving grace may know.
