- 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.

- 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!

- 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!
