The excerpt is a lyrical worship segment delivered by a speaker (Speaker A) that blends sermon‑like exhortations with a repeated hymn chorus titled “Come Bow Down.” The speaker urges the congregation to recognize impending spiritual danger (“death is coming, hell is moving”), to repent, and to intercede for sinners. Biblical imagery such as “holy manna,” “holy ground,” and references to Moses’ sister Aidan are used to frame a call for collective prayer and evangelism. The chorus repeatedly invites the listeners to “bow down,” “rend your hearts,” and to love God supremely, love one another, and pray for sinners until God renews all things. The piece functions both as a devotional appeal and a congregational song, emphasizing themes of salvation, communal responsibility, and divine provision.

Chapters

And holy manna will be showered all around. Reverend, see poor sinners round you slumbering on the brink of war. Death is coming, hell is moving. Can you bear to let them go? See our fathers and our mothers and our children sinking down. Brethren, pray and holy manna will be showered all around. Come bow down, rend your hearts before him now. Gathered here on holy ground, come bow down. Sisters, will you join and help us? Moses' sister, Aidan, 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. Come bow down, rend your hearts before him now, gathered here on holy ground. Come bow down. <LYRICS>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. Friend will gird himself and gird us. With sweet manna all around. Come bow down, rend your hearts before him now, gathered here on holy ground. Come bow down. Sing it once more. Come bow down, rend your hearts before him now, gathered here on holy ground. Holy ground, come bow down.
