	ON what has now been sown,
	Thy blessing, Lord, bestow;
	The pow'r is Thine alone
	To make it spring and grow:
	Do Thou the gracious harvest raise,
	And Thou alone shalt have the praise.
	
	2.  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.
	
	3.  O grant that each of us
	Who meet before Thee here,
	May meet together thus
	When Thou and Thine appear,
	And follow Thee to heaven our home;
	E'en so, Amen, Lord Jesus, come!
