Author: John Cawood Hymnal: Church Book #56 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty God! Thy Word is cast
Like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of heaven descend,
And righteous fruits abound.
2 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.
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 Oft as the precious seed is sown,
Thy quickening grace bestow,
That all whose souls the truth receive,
Its saving power may know. Topics: Worship Close of Worship; Sexagesima Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANN
