Author: John Cawood, 1776-1852 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #516 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Almighty God, your word is cast Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, your word is cast
like seed into the ground;
now let the dew of heav'n descend
and righteous fruits abound.
2 Let not the sly satanic foe
this holy seed remove,
but give it root in ev'ry 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.
4 So when the precious seed is sown,
life-giving grace bestow,
that all those souls the truth receive
its saving pow'r may know. Topics: Word of God; Sending Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
