Make Thy Word Take Root

Guardian of Thy Helpless Sheep
Joseph Hart, 1712-1768

Guardian of Thy helpless sheep,
Jesus, almighty Lord,
Help our heedful hearts to keep
The treasure of Thy Word.

Let not Satan steal what's sown;
Bid it bring forth precious fruit;
Thou can soften hearts of stone,
And make Thy Word take root.
