Text: | Almighty God, Your Word Is Cast |
Author: | John Cawood |
Tune: | ST. FLAVIAN |
1 Almighty God, your word is cast
like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of heaven descend
and righteous fruits abound.
2 Let not the sly satanic foe
this holy seed remove,
But give it root in every heart
to bring forth fruits of love.
3 Let not the world's deceitful cares
the rising plant destroy,
But let it yield a hundred-fold
the fruits of peace and joy.
4 So when the precious seed is sown,
your quickening grace bestow,
That all whose souls the truth receive
its saving power may know.
