Author: Theodore Baker, 1851-1934 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #45 (1970) 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, were 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!
