- Almighty God, Thy word is cast
Like seed upon the ground,
Now let the dew of heav’n descend
And righteous fruits abound.
- 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.
- Let not the world's deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy,
But let it yield a hundred-fold
The fruits of peace and joy. Amen.
