We Gather TogetherBy E. Kremser1 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 wast at our side--all glory be Thine!3 We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant,and pray that Thou still our defender wilt be.Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;Thy name be ever praised; O Lord, make us free!***
