“My word shall not return unto me void.” -Isa 55:11.
1 Almighty God, thy word is cast
Like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of heav’n descend,
And righteous fruits abound.
2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove;
But give it root in ever 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.
4 Oft as the precious seed is sown,
Thy quickening grace bestows,
That all whose souls the truth receive
Its saving pow’r may know.
