On What Has Now Been Sown

lyricist: John Newton, 1779
Composer: John Darwall, 1770

On what has now been sown

Thy bless­ing

Lord

be­stow;

The pow­er is Thine alone

To make it spring 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 pow­ers;

Accept what is Thine own

And par­don what is ours.

Our prais­es

Lord

and pray­ers re­ceive

And to Thy Word a bless­ing give.

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!
