By A Collection of Hymns

      S.M. Acts xi. 21.
      1 LORD, if 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.
