Author: J. Cawood Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #261 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Thy word is cast
Like seed upon the ground;
Now let the dew of heaven descend,
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.
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 Oft as the precious seed is sown,
Thy quickening grace bestow,
That all whose souls the truth receive,
Its saving power may know. Topics: The Church Year Seragesima; The Church Year Sexagesima; Close of Service; Word of God Tune Title: [Almighty God, Thy word is cast]
