| 1. We gather together to ask
the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens
His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now
cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name;
He forgets not His own.
2. Beside us to guide us,
our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining
His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning
the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side,
all glory be Thine!
3. We all do extol Thee,
Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still
our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation
escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised!
O Lord, make us free!
