On what has now been sown

Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On what has now been sown, Thy blessing, Lord, bestow; The pow'r is Thine alone To make it spring and grow: Do Thou the gracious harvest raise, And Thou alone shalt have the praise. 2 To Thee our wants are known, From Thee are all our powers, Accept what is Thine own, And pardon what is ours: Our praises, Lord, and prayers receive, And to Thy Word a blessing give. 3 O grant that each of us Who met before Thee here, May meet together thus When Thou and Thine appear, And follow Thee to heaven our home; E'en so, Amen, Lord Jesus, come!

Thou wilt send to me Thy Spirit, Thy good gifts I shall inherit. 3 Jesus, who for my salvation To the Father didst ascend, Hear my earnest supplication, Unto me Thy Spirit send: Let the Comforter for aye Bide with me, my strength and stay, That in faith I may not waver, Steadfast in the truth forever. 4 Holy Ghost, Strength of the simple, O make Thine abode with me, Let me ever be Thy temple; Cheerfully I welcome Thee. Do Thou purify my heart, Cast out all things that might part Me from those sweet joys of heaven Which by Thee to faith are given. 5 With Thy gifts my heart endowing, Make it new and clean and fair; Let it in true love be glowing, Living in Thy grace fore'er; Give me courage bold and good, Sanctify my flesh and blood, Let me, trusting in Christ's merit, Worship God in truth and spirit. 6 Thus myself I will deliver, Lord, to Thee; my soul shall strive Only after heaven forever, Until there I shall arrive Where the Father, and the Son, And Thyself in heaven's high throne, I shall praise and all Thy treasures In angelic, heavenly measures.
