Key

Minor.
E.
J.
KING,
1844.
1.
Come,
brothers
and
sis-ters
who
love
one
an
-
oth
-
er,
And
have
done
for
years
that
are
gone;
How
oft
-
en
we've
met
him
in
sweet,
heav'n-ly
union,
Which
o-pens
the
way
to
God's
throne.
}
With
joy
and
thanksgiving
we'
ll
praise
him
who
loved
us,
While
we
run
the
bright,
shining
way;
Though
we
part
here
in
body,
we're
bound
for
one
glory,
And
bound
for
each
other
to
pray.
2
There
was
Joshua
and
Joseph,
Elias
and
Moses,
That
prayed,
and
God
heard
from
his
throne;
There
was
Abraham,
and
Isaac,
and
Jacob,
and
David,
And
Solomon,
and
Stephen,
and
John;
There
was
Simeon,
and
Anna,
and
I
don't
know
how
[many,
That
prayed
as
they
journeyed
along;
Some
cast
among
lions,
some
bound
with
rough
irons,
Yet
glory
and
praises
they
sung.
3
Some
tell
us
that
praying,
and
also
that
praising
Is
labour
that's
all
spent
in
vain;
But
we
have
such
a
witness
that
God
hears
with
swift-
[ness,
From
praying
we
will
not
refrain.
There
was
old
father
Noah,
and
ten
thousand
more,
That
witnessed
that
God
heard
them
pray;
There
was
Samuel,
and
Hannah,
Paul,
Silas
and
Peter,
And
Daniel,
and
Jonah,
we'll
say.
4
That
God,
by
his
Spirit,
or
an
agel
doth
visit
Their
souls
and
their
bodies
while
praying,
Shall
we
all
go
fainting,
while
they
all
go
praising,
And
glorify
God
in
the
flame
?
God
grant
us
to
inherit
the
same
praying
spirit,
While
we
are
journeying
below,
That
when
we
cease
praying,
we
shall
not
cease
prais-
[ing,
But
round
God's
white
throne
we
shall
bow.
The
Hymn
is
from
a
very
old
edition,
1820.
It
is
not
in
any
of
the
hymn
books
found
since
that
date.
