Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A closing hymn by John Newton (1779) asking God to bless the Word that has been preached, acknowledging that growth and harvest belong to Him alone. It ends with a longing for the final gathering in heaven.
Verse 1
On what has now been sown Thy blessing,
Lord, bestow;
The pow'r is Thine alone To make it spring and grow.
Do Thou in grace the harvest raise,
And Thou alone shalt have the praise.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
Oh,
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!
