Author: John Cawood Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #313 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Thy word is cast
Like seed upon the ground;
Oh, let the dew of heaven descend,
And shed it is influence round,
And shed it is influence round.
2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove;
May it take root in every heart,
And grow in faith and love!
And grow in faith and love!
3 Let not this life's deceitful cares,
Nor worldly wealth and joy,
Nor scorching beam, nor stormy blast,
The rising plant destroy,
The rising plant destroy.
4 Where'er the word of life is sown,
A large increase bestow,
That all who hear Thy message, Lord,
It's saving power may know,
It's saving power may know.
