Brethren, We Have Met to Worship

Words: George Askins · Music: Columbian Harmony, 1825, D. E. Dortch, William Moore · 1817

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

Verse 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?
All is vain, unless the Spirit
of the Holy One comes down;
brethren, pray, and holy manna
will be showered all around.

Verse 3
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.

Verse 4
Let us love our God supremely,
let us love each other, too;
let us love and pray for sinners,
till our God makes 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.
