Brethren, we have met to worship

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 257 hymnals 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 come down; Brethren, pray, and holy manna Will be showered all around. 2. Brethren, see poor sinners round you, Trembling on the brink of woe; Death is coming, hell is moving; Can you bear to let them go? See our fathers--see 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' sisters aided him; Will you help the trembling mourners, Who are struggling hard with sin? Tell them all about the Savior, Tell him that he will be found; Sisters, pray, and holy manna Will be showered all around. 4. 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 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. Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA

Person Name: Unknown Author of "Brethen, we have met to worship" in African Methodist Episcopal hymn and tune book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
