Holy Manna by William Moore — 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 comes down:
Brethren, pray, and holy manna
Will be showered all around.

About Holy Manna
William Moore's Holy Manna is a sacred piece for SATB choir, sung in English. The text addresses the congregation, urging them to pray for the Spirit's descent and for the salvation of sinners. The imagery of "holy manna" being "showered all around" suggests divine provision and grace. The hymn's message calls for fervent prayer in the face of spiritual danger, painting a vivid picture of souls in peril and the potential for redemption through collective supplication and divine intervention. This powerful devotional anthem encourages deep reflection and communal engagement.
