318. Almighty God, Your Word Is Cast

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.
