Brethren, We Have Met to Worship
Author: George Atkins Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 248 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:12-13 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 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.

Before Your Cross, O Jesus
Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:27 Lyrics: 1 Before your cross, O Jesus,
our lives are judged today;
the meaning of our eager strife
is tested by your way.
Across our restless living
the light streams from your cross,
and by its clear, revealing beams
we measure gain and loss.
2 The hopes that lead us onward,
the fears that hold us back,
our will to dare great things for God,
the courage that we lack,
The faith we keep in goodness,
our love, as low or pure,
on all, the judgment of the cross
falls steady, clear, and sure.
3 Yet humbly, in our striving,
we rise to face its test.
We crave the power to do your will
as once you did it best.
On us let now the healing
of your great Spirit fall,
and make us brave and full of joy
to answer to your call. Topics: Discipleship; Gospel Call and Response; Lent; Year A Proper 17; Year B Lent 5; Year B Proper 19; Year C Lent 5 Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER
Before Your Cross, O Jesus
By Life or By Death
Author: Will H. Houghton Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:20 First Line: So this is life, this world with all its pleasures Lyrics: 1 So this is life, this world with all its pleasures,
Struggles and tear, a smile, a frown, a sigh,
Friendship so true, and love of kin and neighbor?
Sometimes 'tis hard to live--always to die!
The world moves on, so rapidly the living
The forms of those who disappear replace,
And each one dreams that he will be enduring—
How soon that one becomes the missing face!
2 In life or death—and life is surely flying,
The crib and coffin carved from the self-same tree.
In life or death—and death so soon is coming—
Escape I cannot, there's no place to flee—
But Thou, O God, hast life that is eternal;
That life is mine, a gift through Thy dear Son.
Help me to feel its flush and pulse supernal,
Assurance of the morn when life is done.
3 Help me to know the value of these hours,
Help me the folly of all waste to see;
Help me to trust the Christ who bore my sorrows,
And thus to yield for life or death to Thee.
In all my days be glorified, Lord Jesus,
In all my ways guide me with Thine own eye;
Just when and as Thou wilt, use me, Lord Jesus,
And then for me 'tis Christ to live or die. Used With Tune: [So this is life, this world with all its pleasures]

Brethren, breathe one fervent prayer
Author: Joseph Smith, 1832-1914 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:9-11 Lyrics: 1 Brethren, breathe one fervent prayer,
Ere from hence our footsteps tend,
To the Prince upon whose care
All our hopes and joys depend.
Look beneath, around, above—
All is filled with blessed peace,
'Tis the gift of God's best love—
Pray that love may still increase.
2 Go with reverent purpose hence,
Strengthened, helped by Spirit's power,
Christ is helper, strength, defense;
Bless him for this peaceful hour.
Look with chastened hearts before;
See, the clouds are silver lined!
What assurance need we more?
