Lyrics
Almighty God, thy word is cast
like seed upon the ground,
now let the dew of heaven descend
and righteous fruits abound.
Let not the foe of Christ and man
this holy seed remove:
but give it root in every heart,
to bring forth fruits of love.
Let not the world's deceitful cares
the rising plant destroy,
but let it yield a hundred-fold
the fruits of peace and joy.
Oft as the precious seed is sown,
thy quickening grace bestow;
that all whose souls the truth receive
its saving power may know.
