Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #193 (1958) Lyrics: 1 On what has now been sown
Thy blessing, Lord, bestow;
The power is thine alone
To make it spring and grow;
Do thou the gracious harvest raise,
And thou alone shalt have the praise. A-men.
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 meet before thee here,
May meet together thus
When thou and thine appear,
And follow thee to heaven our home;
Even so, Amen, Lord Jesus, come!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent; The Church Worship - The Close of Service Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GODRIC
