  • "We Gather Together" Lyrics Excerpt

    • 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.
    • 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!Thanksgiving November: "We Gather Together"
