"Original Sacred Harp" (Denson Revision) 1960 Edition ‎#59

59. Brethren, we have met to worship

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. 2. Brethren, see poor sinners ’round you, Trembling on the brink of woe; Death is coming, hell is moving, Can you bear to let them go? See our fathers, see our mothers, And our children sinking down; Brethren, pray, and holy manna Will be showered all around. 3. Sisters, will you join and help us? Moses’ sisters 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. 4. Is there here a trembling jailer, Seeking grace, and filled with tears? Is there here a weeping Mary, Pouring forth a flood of tears? Brethren, join your cries to help them; Sisters, let your prayers abound; Pray, Oh pray that holy manna May be scattered all around. 5. 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.
