Publisher Desc.  Since its first appearance in 1819, iBrethren, We Have Met to Worshipi has become one of the most popular American folk hymns still sung today. The opening stanza of this call to worship invites Christians to pray for the Holy Spiritis presence as the service begins. The final stanza urges believers to live in the love of God in anticipation of the full redemption of creation when Christ returns. This setting for SATB Choir and chamber orchestra reflects the unbounded joy and rich blessings of Christian worship.
