##(Verse 1)
Almighty God, Your Word is cast Like seed into the ground; Now let the dew of Heav'n descend, And righteous fruits abound.

##(Verse 2)
Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove, But give it root in ev'ry heart To bring forth fruits of love.

##(Verse 3)
Let not the world's deceitful cares The rising plant destroy. But let it yield a hundredfold The fruits of peace and joy.

##(Verse 4)
Nor let Your Word so kindly sent To raise us to Your throne Return to You, and sadly tell That we reject Your Son.

##(Verse 5)
Oft as the precious seed is sown, Your quick'ning grace bestow, That all whose souls the truth receive, Its saving power may know.

##(Verse 6)
Great God, come down and on Your Word
Your mighty power bestow,
That all who hear the joyful sound,
Your saving grace may know.
