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.
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, wast at our side: the
glory be Thine!
We all do extol Thee, Thou leader
in battle,
And pray that Thou still our defender
wilt be.
Let Thy congregation endure tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised: O Lord,
make us free!
