Brethren, We Have Met to Worship

Brethren, we have met to worship
And adore the Lord our God
Let us pray in faith believing
Yielding to his precious Word
All is vain unless the Spirit
Of the Holy One comes down
O, to taste that holy manna
May it here by faith abound

How we need a word from heaven
And the grace to heed it well
Telling us the gospel story
Warning us of death and hell
Spirit, give us ears to listen
Loving truth and hating sin
Turning from what holds us captive
Work a holiness within

Thank you for the Holy Scriptures
Used of God to make us wise
Teaching, shaping, always leading
Onward to that heavenly prize
Thank you for the Word incarnate
Christ in us, our guarantee
Of an everlasting glory
Where with him we'll ever be
