We gather togetherto ask the Lord’s blessingHe chastens and hastensHis will to make known
The wicked oppressingnow cease from distressingSing praises to His nameHe forgets not His own
Beside us to guide usour God with us joiningOrdaining, maintainingHis kingdom divine
So from the beginningthe fight we were winningThou, Lord, wast at our sidethe glory be Thine
We all do extol TheeThou leader in battleAnd pray that Thou stillour defender wilt be
Let Thy congregationescape tribulationThy name be ever praisedO Lord, make us free
