Author: Anon.; Theodore Baker, 1851–1934 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #93 (1985) Meter: 12.11.12.12 First Line: We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing Lyrics: 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;
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! Topics: Gratitude; Praise; Praise and Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving Scripture: Psalm 100:4-5 Languages: English Tune Title: KREMSER
