31. We Gather Together

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, wast at our side: The glory be Thine!

3 We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender wilt be.
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
