WE GATHER TOGETHER
   Words: Unknown, trans. Theodor Baker
   Tune: Kremser (Netherlands Folk Song, 1626) (arr. Edward Kremser)

   D                  Em    D    Em  A           D
1  We  gather  togeth-er    to   ask  the Lord's blessing;
2  Beside us to guide us,   our  God  with  us   joining,
3  We all  do  extol  Thee, Thou Lead-er     tri-umphant,

  (D)  A/C#  E    A    G/B   E   A   E7/D         A
1  He  chast-ens  and  hast -ens His will to make known;
2  Or -dain -ing, main-tain -ing His kingdom   di-vine;
3  And pray  that Thou still our de -fender wilt  be.

  (A)  A7/G        D            Em    A        D
1  The wicked   op-pressing now cease from dis-tressing,
2  So  from the be-ginning the  fight we were  winning;
3  Let Thy  congre-gation    es-cape  tribu  - lation;

  (D)    G                 A/C#     D      Em    A    D
1  Sing  praises  to  His  name:    He for-gets  not  His own.
2  Thou, Lord, wast at our side,    All    glo - ry   be Thine!
3  Thy   name  be   ever   praised! O      Lord, make us free!
