Author: John Cawood Appears in 222 hymnals First Line: Almighty God, thy word is cast 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 or 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 Nor let thy word, so kindly sent
To raise us to thy throne,
Return to thee, and sadly tell
That we reject thy Son. Topics: Close of Service Scripture: Matthew 13:19 Used With Tune: COLCHESTER
