Text: | Almighty God, Thy Word Is Sown |
Author: | J. Cawood |
Tune: | MORNINGTON |
Composer: | Samuel Howard |
1 Almighty God, Thy word is sown
Like seed upon the ground;
O let the dew of heav'n descend,
That blessings may abound.
2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove;
May it take root in ev'ry heart
And grow by faith and love.
3 Let not the world's deceitful cares,
Nor earthly wealth and joy,
Nor dread temptation's stormy blast
The rising plant destroy.
4 Where'er the Word of life is sown,
A large increase bestow,
That all who hear Thy message, Lord,
Its saving pow'r may know.
Amen.
