Brethren, We Have Met to Worship

Author: George Atkins, 19th C.; Bryan Jeffery Leech Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 224 hymnals Matching Instances: 35 Lyrics: 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 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. 3. [Copyrighted] 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. Scripture: John 6:58 Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA

Faithful stewards of Thy bounty, May we with our brothers share. In the name of Christ our Savior, Who redeems and sets us free, Gifts we bring of heart and treasure, That our lives may worthier be. 3 In the midst of time we journey, From Thy hand comes each new day; We would use it in Thy service, Humbly, wisely, while we may. So to Thee, Lord and Creator, Praise and honor we accord, Thine the earth and Thine the heavens, Thro' all the Eternal Word.

There no more will envy blind us Nor will pride our peace destroy, As we join with saints and angels To repeat the sounding joy.

Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs, holy women, holy men, with affection's recollections greet we your return again. Worthy deeds they wrought, and wonders, worthy of the Name they bore; we, with meetest praise and sweetest, honor them for evermore. 2. Faith prevailing, hope unfailing, loving Christ with single heart, thus they, glorious and victorious bravely bore the martyr's part, by contempt of every anguish, by unyielding battle done; victors at the last, they triumph with the host of angels one. 3. Therefore, ye that reign in glory, fellow-heirs with Christ on high, join to ours your supplication when before him we draw nigh, praying that, this life completed, all its fleeting moments past, by his grace we may be worthy of eternal bliss at last.
