LyicsBrethren, 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, come down;
Brethren pray, and holy manna
Will come streaming all around.
Brethren, don't you see poor sinners
Slumb'ring on the brink of wo,
Death is coming hell is moving,
Can you bear to see them go?
There are fathers, there are mothers
And their children sinking down,
Brethren, pray, &c.
Brethren, there's the poor backslider
Who was once near heaven's door,
Alas! He has betray'd his Saviour,
And is worse than e'er before.
But the Saviour proffers pardon,
If he will repent and turn,
Brethren, pray, &c.
Sisters, will you join and help us,
Moses' sister helped him,
Will you seek the trembling mourner,
That is lab'ring hard with sin?
Tell him all about the Saviour,
Tell him that he will be found,
Sisters, pray, &c.
Let us love our Lord supremely,
Let us love each other too;
Let us strengthen one another,
Till our Lord makes all things now;
And when we get home to heaven,
At his table we'll sit down,
Christ will gird himself and serve us,
With sweet manna all around.
