588. Almighty God, your word is cast

1 Almighty God, your word is cast
like seed upon the ground,
now let the dew of heaven descend
and righteous fruits abound.

2 Let not our selfishness and hate
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 hundredfold
the fruits of peace and joy.
