On What Has Now Been Sown by John Newton

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!
