"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"
