Wartburg Hymnal ‎#298

298. We gather to worship Jehovah, the righteous

1 We gather to worship Jehovah, the righteous,
Who verily sitteth in judgment severe;
The good by the evil shall not be overpowered,
The Lord will prevent it, our prayer He will hear.

2 Amid the great conflict He ever stood by us,
That we His own people the victors might be;
The battle's beginning foretold its good outcome,
For Thou, Lord, wast with us, all glory to Thee.

3 We praise Thee, O God, Thou great Ruler of battles:
O grant that Thy help we may furthermore see;
In mercy Thy people's enslavement preventing,
The enemy vanquish, O Lord, make us free!
