Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #487 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Lord, when at Thy command,
The word of life we sow,
Watered by Thy almighty hand,
The seed shall surely grow:
The virtue of Thy grace
A large increase shall give,
And multiply the faithful race
Who to Thy glory live.
2 Now then the ceaseless shower
Of Gospel blessings send,
And let the soul-converting power
Thy ministers attend;
On multitudes confer
The heart-renewing love,
And by the joy of grace prepare
For fuller joys above. Topics: Church Languages: English
