On What Has Now Been Sown

On what has now been sown

Thy blessing, Lord, bestow;

The pow’r is Thine alone

To make it sprout and grow.

Do Thou in grace the harvest raise,

And Thou alone shalt have the praise!

To Thee our wants are known,

From Thee are all our pow’rs;

Accept what is Thine own

And pardon what is ours.

Our praises, Lord, and prayers receive,

And to Thy Word a blessing give.

O grant that each of us,

Now met before Thee here,

May meet together thus

When Thou and Thine appear

And follow Thee to heav’n, our home.

E’en so, amen, Lord Jesus, come!
