- 1Almighty God, Thy word is sown
- Like seed upon the ground;
- O let the dew of heav'n descend,
- That blessings may abound.
- 2Let 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.
- 3Let not the world's deceitful cares,
- Nor earthly wealth and joy,
- Nor dread temptation's stormy blast
- The rising plant destroy.
- 4Where'er the Word of life is sown,
- A large increase bestow,
- That all who hear Thy message, Lord,
- Its saving pow'r may know.
- 5Amen.
