1. Al- might- y God, Your Word is cast Like seed in- to the ground; Now let the dew of Heav'n de- scend, And right- eous fruits a- bound.

2. Let not the foe of Christ and man This ho- ly seed re- move, But give it root in ev- 'ry heart To bring forth fruits of love.

3. Let not the world's de- ceit- ful cares The ris- ing plant de- stroy. But let it yield a hun- dred- fold The fruits of peace and joy.

4. Nor let Your Word so kind- ly sent To raise us to Your throne Re- turn to You, and sad- ly tell That we re- ject Your Son.

5. Oft as the prec- ious seed is sown, Your quick- 'ning grace be- stow, That all whose souls the truth re- ceive, Its sa- ving power may know.
