Almighty God, thy word is cast
1
Almighty God, thy word is castLike seed upon the ground;O let the dew of heaven descend,And shed its influence round.
2
Let not the foe of Christ and manThis holy seed remove;May it take root in every heart,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.
4
Where'er the word of life is sown,A large increase bestow,That all who hear thy message, Lord,Its saving power may know.
