(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Brethren we have met to worship And adore the Lord our God;
Will you pray with all your power, While we try to preach the Word?
All is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes hown;
Brethren, pray, and holy manna Will be showered all around.
2
Brethren, see poor sinners round you Slumb’ring on the brink of woe;
Death is coming, hell is moving – Can you bear to let them go?
See our fathers and our mothers And our children sinking down;
Brethren, pray, and holy manna Will be showered all around.
3
Sister,s will you join and help us? Moses’ sister aided him;
Will you help the trembling mourners Who are struggling hand with sin?
Tell them all about the Savior – Tell them that He will be found;
Sisters, pray, and holy manna Will be showered all around.
4
Let us us love our God supremely, Let us love each other too;
Let us love and pray for sinners till our god make all things new,
Then He’ll call us home to heaven, At His table we’ll sit down;
Christ will gird Himself and serve us With sweet manna all around.
