1 Brethren, we have met to worship;
sisters, let us praise our God.
Will you pray with all your power?
Will you hear and preach the word?
All is vain unless the Spirit
of the holy One comes down.
Christians, pray, and holy manna
will be showered all around.

2 Kindred, will you come and help us?
Moses’ fam’ly 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.
Christians, pray, and holy manna
will be showered all around.

3 Is there here a trembling jailer,
seeking grace and filled with fears?
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
will be scattered 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.
Christ will call us home to heaven,
at his table we’ll sit down.
Christ will gird himself and serve us
with sweet manna all around.
