We gath-er to-geth-er 
3  -2   2    -1     2    1
to ask the Lord's bless-ing, 
3   3    -3  -4   5   -5
He chas-tens and has-tens 
-4   -3  3   -3    3
His will to make known;

The wick-ed op-press-ing 
 3  3 -3   -2   3    2    1
now cease from dis-tress-ing;

Sing prais-es to His name,

He for-gets not His own.
