| 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
slumbering 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. Is there 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.
