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' sisters 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 tears? 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, oh, 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. Topics: Gathering Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA

To you our morning hymns ascended; Your praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank you that your Church, unsleeping While earth rolls onward into light, Through all the world its watch is keeping, And never rests by day or night. 3 Across each continent and island, As dawn leads on another day, The voice of prayer is never silent, Nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun, which bids us rest, is waking Your children under western skies, And hour by hour, as day is breaking, Fresh hymns of thankful praise arise. 5 So be it, Lord! Your throne shall never, Like earth’s proud empires, pass away: Your kingdom stands, and grows forever Until there dawns your glorious day. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT
