Brethren We Have Met To Worship

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 down;
Brethren, pray, and holy manna
will be showered all around.

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.

Sisters, will you join and help us?
Moses’ sister aided him;
Will you help the trembling mourners
who are struggling hard 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.
