| Notes: | A Dutch hymn from 1597, translated into English in 1894, and sung at American Thanksgiving tables ever since. Good as a grace before a Thanksgiving campout dinner. |
DWe gather toA7gether to Dask the Lord's GblessA7ing
DHe chastens and Ghastens His Dwill to make A7known
DThe wicked opGpressDing now Gcease from disA7tressDing
Sing Gpraises to DHis Name; He forA7gets not His Down
DBeside us to A7guide us, our DGod with us GjoinA7ing
DOrdaining, mainGtaining His Dkingdom diA7vine
DSo from the beGginDning the Gfight we were A7winDning
Thou, GLord, wast at Dour side, all A7glory be DThine!
DWe all do exA7tol Thee, Thou DLeader triGumphA7ant
DAnd pray that Thou Gstill our DeDfender wilt A7be
DLet Thy conGgreDgation esGcape tribuA7laDtion
Thy GName be ever Dpraised! O Lord, A7make us Dfree!
