Brethren, We Have Met to Worship

Author: George Askins Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 248 hymnals Topics: liturgical Opening Hymns 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 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 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. 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. Baptist Hymnal, 1991

Author: Catherine Winkworth; T. Clausnitzer Appears in 144 hymnals Topics: Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy word We are gathered all to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred Now to seek and love and fear Thee; By Thy teachings sweet and holy, Drawn from earth to love Thee solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight Lie in deepest darkness shrouded, Till Thy spirit breaks our night With the beams of truth unclouded. Thou alone to God canst win us, Thou must work all good within us. 3 Glorious Lord, Thyself impart! Light of light, from God proceeding, Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading; Hear the cry Thy people raises, Hear, and bless our pray'rs and praises.

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 966 hymnals Topics: Worship hymns of opening Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah’s awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone: He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sov'reign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men, And, when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd, He brought us to His fold again. 3 We are His people, we His care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy name! 4 We’ll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.
