Christian Hymns ‎#66

66. Almighty God! Thy Word is cast

1 Almighty God! Thy Word is cast
Like seed upon the ground;
Now let the dew of Heaven descend,
And righteous fruits abound,
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,
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,
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,
Its saving power may know.
