Breth-ren,

And

dore
the
Lord
our
God;
Will
you
pray
with
all
your
pow-er,While
we
try
to
preach
the
Word?}
All
is
vain
unless
the
Spirit
Of
the
Holy
One
comes
down;
Brethren,
pray
and
ho

ly
man-na
Will
be
show-ered

-round.

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
Saviour,
Tell
them
that
He
will
be
found;
Sisters,
pray,
and
holy
manna
Will
be
showered
all
around.

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.

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.
This
is
one
of
the
tunes
of
long
standing,
and
has
been
sung
and
played
by
church
people
in
conventions
and
singing
societies
for
almost
one
hundred
years.
It
is
suggested
that
the
chorus
may
be
successfully
rendered
to
"
Lord,
Revive
Us."
