Almighty God, thy word is cast by Vincent Francis Novello — Lyrics
1 Almighty God, your 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 ev'ry heart
to bring forth fruits of love.

About Almighty God, thy word is cast
Suitable for use in services of Christian teaching, Almighty God, thy word is cast is a hymn by Vincent Francis Novello. The SATB setting of this English text calls for the dew of heaven to descend upon the seed of God's word, bringing forth righteous fruits. The lyrics express a prayer that this holy seed will not be removed by the foe of Christ and man, but rather find root in every heart to produce fruits of love, peace, and joy, unhindered by the world's deceitful cares. The composer prays for life-giving grace when the seed is sown, so that all who receive the truth may know its saving power.
