1 Almighty God, Thy Word is cast
Like seed upon the ground;
Now let the dew of heaven descend,
And righteous fruits abound.
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.
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.
The rising plant destroy;
But let it yield a hundred fold
The fruits of peace and joy.
