Author: Theodore Baker Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #61 (2010) Meter: Irregular Hymnal Title: Celebrating Grace Hymnal 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 in battle,
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: God the Father Sustainer; God-Faithfulness; Praise and Adoration-God Languages: English Tune Title: KREMSER
