Author: Anonymous; Theodore Baker, (1851-1934) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #8 (1985) Meter: Irregular 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: Worship Adoration and Praise Tune Title: KREMSER
