(D)We gather together to (A)ask the Lord's (D)blessing;
he (A)chastens and (Bm)hastens his (E)will to make (A)known;
the (A)wicked (D)oppressing now (Em)cease from (D)distressing.
Sing (G)praises to His (D)name; he (Em)forgets (A)not (D)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, wast 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!
