We Gather Together to Ask the Lord's Blessing

Author: Theodore Baker Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #63 (1985) Meter: 12.11.12.11 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: Beginning of Worship; God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Languages: English Tune Title: KREMSER

Baker studied music in Leipzig, Germany, and wrote a dissertation on the music of the Seneca people of New York State–one of the first studies of the music of American Indians. From 1892 until his retirement in 1926, Baker was a literary editor and translator for G. Schirmer, Inc., in New York City. In 1926, he returned to Germany. Psalter Hymnal Handbook, 1987
