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 come 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. 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, O 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.

Behold where, in a mortal form

Author: Enfield Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:42 Lyrics: 1 Behold where, in a mortal form, Appears each grace divine! The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy, To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was his divine employ. 3 Lowly in heart, to all his friends A friend and servant found; He washed their feet, he wiped their tears, And healed each bleeding wound. 4 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn Patient and meek he stood; His foes, ungrateful, sought his life: He labored for their good. 5 In the last hour of deep distress, Before his Father's throne, With soul resigned, he bowed, and said, Thy will, not mine, be done! 6 Be Christ our pattern and our guide; His image may we bear: Oh, may we tread his holy steps, His joy and glory share.
