Gathering Together

Although there is no substitution for the original, I still wanted to play my way into this beloved hymn.

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing

He chases, embraces, His arms to make known

When we are despairing, God lifts us to repairing

Sing praises to His Name, He forgets not His own.

 

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining

Sustaining, maintaining, for you we do pine 

So, from the beginning, forgive us all our sinning 

Thou, Lord, sit at our side, all glory be Thine!

 

We sit at the table, and bid that you join us,

Our hands intertwined, and our hearts opened wide

Remove tribulations, your peace our true libation 

Your name be ever praised! O Lord, please abide!
